Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Xiaoxi waited for a long time, but He Jianguo heard nothing.She couldn't hold back any longer and called He Jianguo. A moment later, the beautiful and melancholy bell rang at home.Xiaoxi had no choice but to wait, restless.It's so cold, so late, where can he go?I didn't bring my mobile phone with me. If something really happened, I had nowhere to look for it!He comforted himself that nothing would happen, he was a young and strong man, he also knew taekwondo, if something happened, it could only be caused by someone else.But what if he went drinking?He would drink whenever he was angry, and he didn't have much capacity for alcohol, and he would get high when he drank, in case he was lying on the street drunk - thinking of this, Xiaoxi didn't dare to think about it, for fear that his "thought" would become a prophecy.

He Jianguo was indeed drinking at the moment—the best way to know a husband is to know his wife—in a small restaurant on the street.On the table was a plate of peanuts, a plate of cucumbers, a few skewers of mutton skewers, a bottle of Erguotou, and the backpack was thrown aside.While drinking, he yelled at the waiter: "What kind of oil do you use to fry your peanuts? Waste oil? Why does it taste like hala?" The waiter said that he could change a plate for him, and he immediately waved his hand and said: " Well done, there is no need to change it, I’ve already eaten so much, let’s pay less.” All the people in the restaurant looked sideways at him.

When it was a little faster, He Jianguo's beautiful and melancholy mobile phone rang suddenly at home, and Xiaoxi rushed over to answer the phone.A strange male voice came from the phone, it was the police, saying that He Jianguo was sent to a certain hospital because of drunkenness.He Jianguo always carried a business card with him, and it must have provided clues to the police.When Xiaoxi took a taxi to the hospital, He Jianguo was lying in the hospital's emergency infusion room for an infusion. He was not completely confused and could recognize Xiaoxi. He held her hand and cried and laughed: "I'm going to die... I'm going to die It's over...Xiaoxi, are you happy that I'm dead?" Xiaoxi didn't say anything, what is there to say to a drunk!But the face couldn't stop the fever, there were more than ten or twenty people in the infusion room!In my heart, I kept hoping that He Jianguo would shut up, and that He Jianguo would not shut up. "I'm dead, and no one will bother you anymore, bothering your family—" At this point, he suddenly shut up, and put his idle hand into the inner pocket of his clothes to feel for a long time. He took out a small book and put it in Xiaoxi's hand, and said with a smile, "I'll give you something." It was a passbook.He went on to explain: "This is your husband's legacy to you. ...Remember, half of the above money has to be given to our family. ... By the way, there is also a password—" patting his head and thinking, "How much is it? "

That night, He Jianguo fell asleep after making a fuss for a while, and fell asleep completely unconscious as soon as he fell asleep.The nurse said that he will be fine and he will be fine after a night of sleep.I may have a headache tomorrow. There is a kind of "headache tablet" from Singapore that works well. In addition to pain relief, it also has a sedative effect.The next morning, He Jianguo woke up, knew what had happened without saying a word, put his bag on his back, and led Xiaoxi, who was pale from a sleepless night, and left.Walked to the gate of the hospital and took a taxi.As soon as he got in the car, he hugged Xiaoxi tightly in his arms.Xiaoxi cried, and he cried too.

This happened just like that, and Xiaoxi didn't tell the family.It's not good, it's harmful.Their married life is already like a hut crumbling in the wind from all directions, and they can no longer bear any external interference, even if this interference is in the name of their own good.But in the end, the doctor's mother knew about it: because the "little confinement child" did not sit well, Xiaoxi was still bleeding when the day came, so she had to go to the hospital for an examination. I learned all the things I experienced on the second day after the operation, went to Shunyi to be a nurse, and so on.So mom knew.Mom didn't say anything this time.According to Xiaoxi's experience, it's worse if mother doesn't talk about it than talking about it.Saying it means that she still has hope for them to change and save them. If she doesn't say it, she has given up on them, or He Jianguo.Xiaoxi's analysis was not bad at all, Xiaoxi's mother really gave up on them.I have been married for six or seven years, seven or eight years, and I have always quarreled like this, it’s okay to quarrel, it’s okay, she and Xiaoxi’s father are also like this, most couples are like this.However, the daughter's pair is qualitatively different from most couples, that is, the root of the conflict between them cannot be eliminated.Let He Jianguo want a daughter-in-law instead of parents?no.Transform Xiaoxi?no.Reform He Jianguo's parents?Not to mention.Nothing will work, all roads are dead ends.What's annoying is that the daughter has never repented, and has hit the south wall, because the family may lose her reproductive function, and she hasn't turned back.Yes, he loves her, and she loves him too, but is love everything in marriage?But she didn't want to say any more, her daughter was already an adult, and she had to choose the path she chose, even if it was a dead end.

A week later, Xiaoxi went to work, and her life returned to the usual track.What is different from usual is that when the weekend comes, the couple starts to get nervous, going to Xiaoxi's parents' house?I'm afraid they will be annoying.not going?I'm afraid they will be angry.They already felt the indifference from Xiao Xi's mother.In the end, I decided to go there on weekends if I have nothing to do, to sit and go when I go, not to eat if I can not eat, not to live if I can live, and to live a day as long as I can. ...Until one day, an accident happened to the Gu family.This accident unexpectedly relieved the tense relationship between the Xiaoxi couple and the Gu family.

Xiaoxi's father had a broken bone, and when he slipped in the shower, his leg broke.Considering Xiaoxi's physical condition these days, Xiaoxi's mother didn't disturb them that night. She and Xiaohang sent Xiaoxi's father to the hospital, had an X-ray taken, put on a plaster cast, and stayed in the hospital for observation under the doctor's advice.At night, Xiaohang stayed with his father in the hospital overnight.In the morning, Xiao Xi's mother replaced her son.At the same time, Xiaoxi was notified by phone and asked them to come and accompany Xiaoxi's father. She had to go to the ward for rounds in the morning.

Xiaoxi and the others put down the phone and rushed to the hospital without eating. Both of them went.In the morning, the doctor came to see Xiaoxi's father who was being observed in the outpatient clinic, and thought he could be discharged home.It was noon after finishing the discharge procedures, and Xiaoxi's mother also came after checking the room. After learning about the situation, she called her son and asked him to drive to pick up his father. Xiaoxi's parents' house is a six-story old building without an elevator, and the house is on the sixth floor.When Xiaoxi's father went to the hospital, Xiaohang carried him downstairs.Carrying someone downstairs, as long as you can recite it, is fine, but carrying someone upstairs is different.After getting off the car, He Jianguo scrambled to carry Xiaoxi's father upstairs.Xiaoxi's father was a little older and a little fatter, and He Jianguo had only reached the third floor when he was so tired that he was wheezing like a bellows.At this time, Xiaohang parked his car and rushed up. Xiaoxi's father was very sorry and insisted on letting his son recite it for a while.He Jianguo panted heavily and said that it was okay, don't hold back, and carried the old father-in-law into the bedroom and onto the bed.After everything was arranged, Xiaoxi's mother called her children to hold a small meeting in the living room, and said that it would take a hundred days for the injury to occur, and it would take longer for the elderly.In her opinion, until a suitable nanny is hired, the three children take turns to take leave and take care of Xiaoxi's father at home.Xiaohang was in a dilemma. The company sent him to Italy for a business inspection. He told his mother about it. I don't know if his mother forgot or told him to give up.So I reminded my mother that Xiaoxi's mother meant to give up, and asked him to explain to the company and let others go.Xiaohang was extremely depressed when he heard this.At this time, He Jianguo spoke.

"Mom, if you want me to say, it's fine if you go to the United States or something. Italy has a rare opportunity. They are engaged in architecture, especially they need to go to Italy to open their eyes." Xiaohang looked at his brother-in-law gratefully, and He Jianguo smiled at him as if to comfort him. "If he leaves, you two should do more. Don't count on me, I have so many patients in my department." Xiaoxi's mother said. "You two" refers to He Jianguo and Xiaoxi, of course. "How can I use you if I don't need you? Xiaoxi doesn't even need me, I can do it alone." He Jianguo said.Everyone looked at him when they heard this. "I think so, I come back to live, I stay with my father at night; I cook breakfast; I come back at noon during the day, and my father's lunch will be settled. Calculated in this way, the time that father spends alone every day It’s only half a day, and half a day is much easier. Put the water, urinal, and so on where Dad can get it, and there will be no problem. Even if there is a problem, call me at any time, and I will be right back.”

"That's good. It won't delay work." Xiaoxi's mother groaned and stepped off the donkey.She was originally worried about Xiaoxi, and she didn't want to make Xiaoxi tired, so she didn't know what to say.There are both subjective and objective reasons for partiality.Needless to say, subjectively, Xiaoxi is her daughter. Objectively, Xiaoxi can't work harder. A woman's abortion is a considerable consumption of the body.In order to hide her partiality, she had to show her concern for her son-in-law. After thinking about it, she said to her son: "Xiaohang, after you leave, give your brother-in-law the car to drive."

He Jianguo waved his hand: "I've thought about this too. From our unit to here, the road is too congested, especially during commuting hours. To be on the safe side, I need a bicycle. Ride the bicycle for half an hour. We rest for an hour and a half at noon. Just cook the rice with an electric rice cooker, wash the vegetables and choose them, and come back at noon and cut them up and put them in the pot. Half an hour is enough, and I will save the bowls for washing when I come back at night. There is still half an hour left, and I just go back by bike. If It’s hard to say when you’re driving.” Mom nodded, showing a rare satisfaction with He Jianguo on her face.It's impossible not to be dissatisfied, so thoughtful and detailed.Seeing her mother's expression, Xiaoxi couldn't be more happy. There hasn't been a happy thing these days.Ordinarily, it was a bad thing for her father to break a bone, but she didn't think that it would untie a big knot in her life, which shows that there is no absolute good or bad in the world. Xiaoxi and He Jianguo came home to live.He Jianguo did what he said, and he was determined not to let Xiaoxi get tired.At night, Xiaoxi sleeps in her own room, Xiaoxi's mother sleeps in Xiaohang's room, and he sleeps on a temporary camp bed set up in Xiaoxi's father's room.The bed was a steel wire bed, which had collapsed in the middle after a long time, and he woke up with a sore back all night, and he didn't even mention it.At night, when Xiaoxi's father moved, he would wake up, get up whenever something happened, take medicine and water to urinate, and be patient and thoughtful.In the morning, while the whole family was still asleep, he quietly got up and plunged into the kitchen to work.In addition to preparing breakfast, I also have to wash rice and cook to prepare the dishes to be made at noon.At noon, I hurriedly picked up two meals at the company and rode my bicycle all the way back to cook. After Xiaoxi's father finished eating, he pedaled all the way back to work, which moved Xiaoxi's father and Xiaoxi's mother praised. Seeing that the son-in-law has lost a lot of weight in a few days, the old couple discussed that they must hurry up and find a nanny.In fact, Xiaoxi's father had been looking for a nanny since Xiaoxi's father had a broken bone, but there was no suitable one.Basically, people feel that they are not suitable, and they are unwilling to take care of bedridden elderly, especially male elderly.It can't be blamed for people being picky and picky, they are all young girls, and it is very inconvenient for them to take care of a man who needs to be taken care of in all aspects.This unexpected incident once again put the Gu family's nanny issue that had been brewing and unresolved on the agenda again.In the past, the main resistance came from Xiaoxi’s father, but now the whole family, especially the son-in-law, has to change their views and obey the laws of nature: getting old is getting old.Today I fell and broke a bone. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. It is definitely not possible to find someone now.Just like an army fighting a war, it is better to be prepared than to fight, and not to be prepared for war.Once I really put this matter on the agenda, I realized that finding a nanny is far from easy.It is easy to find, but it is difficult to find the right one, just like finding a partner.On this day, the old couple sighed and worried about this matter again. He Jianguo thought about it and said, "How about I call our family and ask them to help find one over there?" Xiaoxi's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay. It's safe to know the basics." Sunday.The wind blew the day before, and the wind stopped at night. The sky was blown by the strong wind, and the sun was shining everywhere.The vegetable market is bustling, under the sun, looking around, the vegetable stalls are red, green, yellow, white and brown, dripping with dew and mud, people rubbing and picking, Gu Xiaoxi and Jian Jia shuttling among them. Now the weekend has become Jian Jia's saddest day.On Saturday, there was a strong wind and she didn't go anywhere, and she was bored in the hut all day.She doesn't know where to go even when the wind isn't blowing. In her thirties, "girlfriends" of the same age get married, live together, and have boyfriends. It's rare for her to be completely single like her. Fortunately, the wind gave her a reason not to go out.When I woke up this morning, I saw the beautiful weather outside at a glance, and I felt a burst of despair in my heart.It would be crazy to be bored in a hut alone in such fine weather.However, if you are not bored in the house, where do you go?shopping mall?garden?Restaurant?cinema?one person?Alone?Not looking for excitement!At this time, she thought of a place to go, Gu Xiaoxi's house.Xiaoxi's father had a broken bone. She hadn't seen it all this time, so she just took advantage of it today to have a look.She is Xiaoxi's friend and she is also the leader, so she should go and see it both in public and in private.I didn't go because I didn't want to meet that annoying Gu Xiaohang. Not long ago, I heard that he went to Italy, which was just right.Immediately jumped up from the bed, groomed and dressed as quickly as possible - I can't step on the meal time to go to someone else's house, I want to rush to have lunch in my heart - then, I bought a large bunch of pink lilies in the nearby supermarket, a Large basket of fruit.When I arrived at Xiaoxi's house, it happened that Xiaoxi was going out to buy vegetables, so I put down my things and went with her.It is also a kind of happiness to be able to go grocery shopping in a legitimate way.Along the way, Jian Jia and Xiao Xi babbled endlessly, after all, they were bored with their family all day yesterday. "...I heard that Wang Fangqiang has a child now, a daughter who looks like a doll, and the relationship between the couple is also very good. Wang Fangqiang chased me for three years, and I liked him very much at the time, if it wasn't because of Liu Kairui—" "Back then there were many people who liked you, not just Wang Fangqiang!" Xiao Xi said, "How much is the little rapeseed?" "One piece and two." "So expensive!" "The ones in the shed are more expensive!" Xiaoxi picked the rapeseed, and Jian Jia watched her pick it: "I really want to live a life like yours now. After get off work, I buy vegetables and cook, and then the whole family eats and talks around the table. When my mother is here, our family is like this , At that time, I ran home after school, and I liked to go home. Oh, I really envy you, how nice you are!" "As long as you don't hate the poor and love the rich, you can be so good." "I really didn't follow Liu Kairui for money! I really didn't dislike—" "—I really don't dislike the poor and love the rich!" Xiaoxi interrupted her to continue, "It's okay to dislike the poor and love the rich, love and marriage are not doing charity, you have to love the poor and love the ugly to be spiritually beautiful! " "But I'm really not—" "In order to show your 'really not', you returned the garage to him! It's okay to have feelings without money, but if we don't have money and feelings, wouldn't our hard work be in vain?" Xiaoxi put the two handfuls of rapeseed on the scale: "I still have the same opinion, go ask him to get the car and the house back, and if possible, the pair of diamond earrings, too!" Jian Jia didn't speak for a while.I have to admit that what Xiaoxi said makes sense.In the past, when she and Liu Kairui were friends, they were often alone. He was too busy to accompany her, but even if there was no one to accompany her, on weekends, he would listen to music, watch DVDs, and surf the Internet alone in a well-equipped villa. It's also good to take a bubble bath, make something to eat, or just do nothing and just walk around the house in cotton pajamas.Feeling without material things is better than having nothing at all. It was really not a wise move to leave the car and check out in a fit of anger.But now that they have been refunded, let her go to get them back, how can I ask for it?Said that I have been with you for six years, and you have to compensate me-isn't that really a sale?In fact, Liu Kairui once asked Jian Jia to make an offer.That day, after returning from the Shunyi Law Enforcement Station and sending Xiaoxi away, he sent her back to—what—her residence.Obviously he didn't expect her place to be like this, so old, so dilapidated.Standing in her little room, he said.Let her open the conditions.One, he will not divorce; two, if they want to continue their relationship under such circumstances, what conditions does she want.That's not what he told her before. In the past, he always made her think that marriage would be the result of their love.After she sneered, she said that her conditions were to get married and have children.He said it's okay to have a baby.As for marriage, isn't it just a piece of paper?For example, his wife has that piece of paper, what did she get?He is away from home for four-fifths of the time in a year, and when he has to go home during the New Year holidays, he is also absent-minded.What his wife got from that piece of paper was only food and status, and no other pleasures, not even "sexual" interest, and he had separated from her for many years. ...Jian Jia interrupted his eloquence, and told him word by word: That piece of paper not only means the wealth and status, but also means that a woman's feelings can be recognized by the society and everyone's respect and blessing!At this time, Liu Kairui repeated the cliché he had said a thousand times: that is something any girl can achieve if she wants to, and what he gave her——Jian Jia had a fit at this moment, screaming and pushing him away. Pushing out is equivalent to pushing out money and everything that money can bring. Jian Jia went shopping with Xiaoxi, and seeing Xiaoxi walking in front with a leisurely and casual look, she felt more and more that Liu Kairui was shameless and hateful. If it wasn't for him, why would she be where she is today?Xiaoxi stopped in front of the aquatic product stall, pointed to the fish swimming in the black plastic water tank, and asked for a fish that weighed about one and a half catties.While the fishmonger was catching fish, Jian Jia said again: "Xiaoxi, tell me, how could he do this? He obviously can't marry you, and he cheated for six years. How can a person be so selfish?" Jian Jia said similar words as soon as she came here, no less than a hundred times.No matter how good the relationship is and how sympathetic you are, after hearing the same words a hundred times, you will get tired of hearing them, at least, you will no longer feel them. "That's it, Jian Jia, it's all right, I've said it three times, it's as light as water, how many times have you said these words upside down?" "annoyed?" "annoyed." "It's still a friend!" "A friend can't be used as a trash can. I dump all the rotten things into it. Do you want to know why Xianglin's sister-in-law doesn't have a girlfriend?" Jian Jia heard this, put the vegetables that Xiaoxi carried on the ground, turned around and left.Xiaoxi called out: "Jian Jia!... How can you let me take so many dishes by myself!... Can you please eat at our house in the evening?... You know, He Jianguo's cooking is top-notch!" Only then did Jian Jia stop, and turned around to help Xiaoxi carry the vegetables. The Gu family's dining table is so rich and rich, and at the same time it is so homely and warm. The dining table is round, not the Western-style rectangular ones that are popular now, which is not suitable for Chinese food.Put a casserole in the middle of the dining table, and inside the casserole are pork ribs, lotus root, and wolfberry.Dishes include eggs with scallions, stir-fried rapeseed and shiitake mushrooms, sweet and sour fungus with coriander, and steamed grass carp.By the way, the steamed grass carp can be said to be perfectly cooked, the meat is extremely tender and the taste is extremely strong, and the taste of the seasoning seems to evenly infiltrate every fiber of the meat. It is hard to imagine how it is done.Later, I asked Fang Zhi, and it turned out that before cooking, He Jianguo had to marinate the fish with seasoning for two hours. After all the flavors had gone in, he sealed it and put it in the microwave oven. Heat the oil in the pan, put the seasoning in it to boil, and then pour it on the fish that has been turned in the microwave oven, it will have the effect of tender meat and strong flavor.Rice is rice, it tastes good and smells good.It turns out that He Jianguo also pays attention to cooking rice, using two kinds of rice, northeast rice and Thai fragrant rice.The former tastes good and the latter smells good. The ratio between the two is five to one.Xiaoxi's father also ate at the table, and He Jianguo sat next to him, picking up vegetables for him for a while, serving soup for him for a while, and being considerate and considerate.Xiaoxi can eat her as much as she wants, and doesn't care about anything else.Jian Jia looked at all this with emotion.According to secular standards, Liu Kairui is more successful than He Jianguo, but when this successful person doesn't love you, at least he refuses to love you with all of him, what does his success have to do with you?It is said that whether a man loves a woman or not depends on whether he is willing to marry her and whether he is willing to tie his whole life to her.At the beginning, I was too pursuing success and pursuing being different, but now I realize how precious, rare, and real it is for an ordinary couple, a mediocre life, and the trivial happiness of everyday life. The doorbell of Gu's house rang, but Jian Jia didn't take it seriously, she was a guest of this house, and it had nothing to do with whoever came.He Jianguo went to open the door, and it was Gu Xiaohang who came, with big and small bags, full of travel and dust.Due to an accident, everyone in the room stood up except Xiaoxi's father.Jian Jia was so shocked that she almost pushed the chair down. Not only did she hate Xiaoxi, but she was also a little afraid of Xiaoxi, the stunned young brother, for fear that he would say something in public.As for the relationship with Liu Kairui, no matter how she defends herself, the essence of the matter cannot be changed: she is a third party who was once taken care of.Xiaoxi's parents are disgusted with the title of "The Three Years I've Been Adopted", let alone real people?And she respected them, and it was embarrassing to be looked down upon by those she respected.At this time, I heard Xiaoxi's mother ask Xiaohang: "Didn't you say you went for fifteen days, it's only been ten days, why did you come back?" "It's only ten days of business. Then it's all about fun. I'm not worried about my family, so I came back early. How is Dad?" Xiaohang said as he walked to the bathroom, saying that he had to wash his hands first.Xiaoxi's mother asked him to take a bath, and he said repeatedly: "No, no, I'm starving. I haven't eaten much in Italy for more than a week! I really don't understand how Europeans have such poor imagination in food. , in addition to bread is meat, and then there is a pile of vegetable leaves. I often see them drinking Coke and eating bread on the roadside, and they can eat it!" After washing his hands, he came to the table and sat down, took a deep breath, Say "It smells so good"!Just picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Xiaoxi's father is dissatisfied with his son. "Just know how to eat! Don't even ask who made it!" "Do you need to ask? Who in our family can have this skill." Turning to He Jianguo, "Right, brother-in-law?" "Your brother-in-law is exhausted these days." Xiaoxi's mother immediately added that the two elders are expressing their gratitude to He Jianguo in this way, including his younger brother Xiaohang, who is also expressing gratitude in his way. Xiaoxi sees it as sweet heart. After dinner, the family gathered around the tea table to drink water and talk, while He Jianguo was washing dishes in the kitchen.Jian Jia wanted to help, but was pushed out by He Jianguo.In the living room, Xiaohang opened the box and began to distribute gifts to everyone.First, he took out a small box for his mother, which contained a brooch in the shape of a rose, with pure gold branches and leaves, and crystal buds. Xiaoxi's mother squinted at it with her hand. "Pretty is pretty, but it's a pity that we wear white coats all day—" Xiaoxi doesn't like to listen, and she doesn't like her mother the most. She has been dressed like a day for more than ten years, and she never knows how to dress up. Her mind is full of nothing but work.She took the brooch and pinned it to the middle of her mother's chest, and said, "When you get off work, when you are resting, when you are lecturing, and when you are in a meeting, do you also wear a white coat?" Come! Mom, do you know that you are a beauty?" "Compared to your mother, you and Xiaohang are far behind." Xiaoxi's father continued.It's not flattery, it's the truth. "So dad," Xiaoxi said quickly, "marrying a beautiful woman home, especially a career-minded beauty, has to pay a price!" The whole family laughed.Amid laughter, Xiaohang handed a rectangular wallet to his father: "Dad, a wallet for suits." Xiaoxi's father took the wallet, smelled it, looked at it, praised "the skin is so thin", and called: "Jianguo!" He Jianguo came out of the kitchen when he heard the sound, and Xiaoxi's father gave him the wallet, "Take it and use it. I'm a retired person, I don't need to wear a suit anymore." Xiaoxi blocked his father's hand: "Dad, Jianguo is not short of wallets. What he lacks is money. If you want me to tell you to keep your wallet, if you are rich in money—" The whole family laughed again.Xiaohang said: "Dad! I will keep it for you! My brother-in-law has a brother-in-law!" He took out a small box with a red background and a white cross from the box and gave it to his brother-in-law, "Swiss army knife. Brother-in-law, I have worked hard for you these days!" "Where is there!" He Jianguo hurriedly rubbed his wet hands on the apron to take the gift from his brother-in-law, took it out for a closer look, and asked casually, "How much does this knife cost?" "Ah, is there anyone like you? Asking money for giving you things!" Xiaoxi called. "I'm afraid that Xiaohang will spend too much money..." He Jianguo explained. "No matter how much he has spent!" The whole family laughed again.Jian Jia couldn't sit still anymore, the happy family atmosphere was a kind of repulsion to outsiders, and it was still a kind of torture to her - Jian Jia had no home.Her mother died in a car accident when she was fourteen years old. In the morning, the family of three went to school and went to work together. Her mother also told her to come back on time after school and bake her chives at night.Chive zygotes must be eaten and baked immediately, and they will not taste good when they are cold.When I came back at night, my mother was gone.Six years later, my father remarried.Her father was not easy enough, and he stayed with her until she went to college and left home before getting married.However, people need a home after they go to university!If a home without a mother can be considered a home, then a home with a stepmother is not your home, especially when the stepmother and father have their children.If it weren't for the situation at home, she and Liu Kairui might not have been entangled for so many years.Jian Jia got up and said she wanted to leave, Xiaoxi grabbed her and told her to wait, it was time to give her a gift, she had to see what it was before she was in the mood to see off the guest.Xiaohang gave his sister a Louis Vuitton handbag, Xiaoxi took the expensive handbag and couldn't say a word, only let out a series of exclamations: "My God, my God!" The things were distributed, and Jian Jia got up again to leave. Only then did Xiaohang feel that something was wrong, and the whole family felt the same.As the saying goes, "you get half of the meeting", you Xiaohang came back from Italy, and Jian Jia happened to be here, even if you don't "split half" to him, you must be happy.But what does it "mean"?Xiaohang quickly searched in his mind, thinking about what else in the box is suitable for women and must be not too expensive, if it is too expensive, he will feel unbalanced.In the end, what he gave Jian Jia was a bottle of perfume, which cost less than two hundred yuan.At that time, I bought it because it was cheap and looked decent, and it was used as a backup. After all, he still wanted to have a girlfriend.Of course, Jian Jia refused without exception, Xiaoxi took it and stuffed it to her and said you can take it.He Jianguo also came over to jokingly say take it, Jian Jia, you are now our Xiaoxi's leader, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future.Xiaoxi's mother was startled when she heard this: Jian Jia is Xiaoxi's leader?When did this happen?In her impression, her daughter is better at work than Jian Jia, much better.Xiaoxi's mother herself is a highly ambitious person, and of course she would have the same requirements for her children.She turned to look at her daughter, asking for confirmation. So Xiaoxi had no choice but to say that Jian Jia is now the deputy director of their editorial office.She didn't tell her mother about this because she knew that her mother cared about these things and would get to the bottom of it. In that case, He Jianguo and He Jianguo would be pulled out again.How did Jian Jia know about the twigs and vines here?Quickly explained to Xiaoxi's mother that Xiaoxi did not participate in the competition because she was staying at home to protect her baby at the critical moment, otherwise, the position of deputy director would definitely belong to Xiaoxi and it would not be her turn.When Xiaoxi's mother heard it, her face sank.When Xiaoxi and He Jianguo saw it, their hearts immediately sank. On the way back to her home——Xiaohang came back early and didn’t have to go to work, so she could stay at home and take care of Xiaoxi’s father for a few days—Xiaoxi sighed repeatedly, wasting so much hard work for Jianguo—after her mother heard that she failed to participate in the competition to protect her pregnancy , the frightening indifference appeared on his face again.This is only the situation of her family, and his family. His family doesn't know that the second child of his family is gone!He Jianguo never dared to tell his family. He said that he didn't know what to say. His family even sold their old house because of this child. One can imagine how much hope they placed on this child. Xiaoxi and He Jianguo did not take the car, but walked along the street. He put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, and she put her hands in his pockets. His hands were just enough to wrap hers, and they were dry and warm.The two walked away, speechless, with endless worries in their hearts. "Jianguo," Xiaoxi said. As soon as she spoke, He Jianguo raised his heart, as if he had a premonition of what she was going to say.She said exactly what he was afraid of her saying.She said, "Jianguo, you can't sell me out then!" "What?" He Jianguo pretended to be stupid. "You can't tell them that I have a problem and that I can't keep my baby!" "Then what should I say?" He Jianguo asked mechanically. "Say you're busy with work..." "What does my busy work have to do with your childbirth?" "You don't have time to take care of me." "If you say that, my mother and sister-in-law must volunteer to serve you..." "Then you just say, we don't want children now, we want a two-person world, DINK." "Then they will say that after the child is born, they will take it to the countryside to raise it, and it won't hinder your DINK." "Then what do you mean? Tell your family the truth? Say Xiaoxi can't have children. She doesn't have the ability. She's not even as good as a sow and a hen. She loses her pregnancy as soon as she is pregnant. Let them laugh at me, pity me, and look down on me." Me?!" He Jianguo gripped the small and soft hand in his pocket even more tightly, unable to say a word.After a while, Xiaoxi said again, "How about you just say that I don't want children. I don't want children. They are angry with me at most, but if I let them know that I can't have children, what will they think? Oh, account for it." Staying in the latrine and not shitting will delay our Jianguo family from having children and carrying on the family line—" "No, they won't! They are very kind people, and they won't take this matter against you!" "You wouldn't be able to understand if this hadn't happened to you! In their eyes, a woman is not a woman if she can't have children. Can I hold my head up when I meet them later?" "If you can't have children, you can't hold your head up? It's not a feudal society that treats women as reproductive tools!" "It's a feudal society, it's better, let them give you a little wife and give birth to a child, wouldn't it be over!" "Don't be so pessimistic, the doctor didn't say that it can't be cured, let's make persistent efforts." "Keep working hard? How old are we? How much more can we do? Sometimes, I don't dare to think about it, and when I think about it, my heart is empty. You say my parents are old, and Me and Xiaohang, I am old, what do I have?" "Aren't I the same?" "Of course you are different! You can have children with just one woman, but I can't do it with a hundred men. I'm destined to be alone and have no children!" "Don't be so miserable. Didn't you say before that you don't want to have children? Besides, there are many people who don't want to have children now!" "Not wanting to have a baby and not being able to have a baby are two different things! If you don't want to have a baby, you don't want to; if you can't have a baby, you don't have the ability. If a person with no ability says he doesn't want to, let someone who knows the details hear it. You must say that you are worthy of saying that you don't want to! "Here, his voice was choked with tears.From then on, along the way, the two of them never spoke again...
