Chapter 2 The second page

Since filing for divorce, there has been no peace at home. First, the neighbors came to persuade them. "Where did you start talking about this? Couples who have been married for more than ten years, how can you say that they are about to leave!" Aunt Zhao from Westinghouse came. The wife was busy making tea, teary and absent-minded.Small glass cups, just a handful of tea leaves, enough to brew a pot.That was five yuan and one tael of jasmine, and I bought two taels of it just the day before yesterday. "He's a bully!" cried the wife. "Hey, big sister, live at home, three hundred and sixty-five days, and the couple hasn't bumped into each other yet? If you don't say a word, it's over!"

"He's such a bully..." Aunt Li from the east room also came.Wiping away her tears, the wife quickly offered to sit down and made tea again.This time, it's time to save some tea!No, I just know how to cry if I don't have a heart at all.Yep, another big handful of good tea, just call her such a waste. "Aunt Li, I'm trying to persuade him here, he's being polite, everything's fine, isn't it?" "That's not true! The guy in our family has such a violent temper that I can't be less angry in three days. When I was young, I still did it, and I endured it. I have come here for so many years."

"He's such a bully..." "Oh, big sister, why are you so old and serious! The couple are like one person, beating is hurting and scolding is love, bullying is not bullying, just go as you said. You are wrong! He Aunt Li, Are you saying that to me?" "That's right! The guy in our family is not a thing. He always finds trouble when he gets home, picks his nose and eyes, and jumps up and down. As for me, he is in a hurry, and he yells at me not to speak. He's going to make trouble. Men, it's just a piece of shit, and it's over when it's over. Alas, who told us that we were born women, we have to bear with it."

Grandma Wang, who is almost 80 in the Nanwu, also came, and everyone hurriedly gave up their seats.where to sit?The chairs are full of people.The man who was "not a thing" had no choice but to stand up and sit on the edge of the bed, but he didn't dare to step out, and he seemed to be not a thing when he walked away. "What do you say? I just heard this morning that your young couple is going to get a divorce! I was terrified. I have to say a few words about you as neighbors in the neighborhood all these years. Children, this is not allowed, this It's nothing to worry about!" Grandma Wang couldn't wait to persuade her, she was really anxious.

She's making tea again, boy, another big handful!Does the old lady have enough to drink? Grandma Wang sat down and talked about her experience. She is neither deaf nor blind, and her voice is rough and hoarse: "I entered his Wang's family when I was fourteen. I prayed to heaven and earth on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, I put on aprons and cooked meals for a large family of ten or so people. When it snowed heavily, the snow on the ground was one foot thick. I Carrying the hot drawer to the room, I slipped and the steamed buns were scattered all over the floor, so I couldn’t get up from the fall. My damn ghost kicked me as soon as I came up, kicked several times. Isn’t it? I have to hold back my tears when I get up, I'm afraid..."

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li listened to the old saying with great interest, and the wife forgot to shed tears. "I was beaten again on the tenth day of the lunar new year! It was for my mother-in-law..." Boring, annoying.A broken record, an old-fashioned phonograph.He leaned against the head of the bed, lost himself, and endured the creaking sound.The phonograph was hand-cranked, and the records turned very slowly.Round and round. ... Fortunately, sister Sun from the backyard came like a whirlwind.Her tweeter interrupted the broken record.His wife's tears flowed down again in the voice of complaining, and Jasmine was missing a lot.

"He bullies people..." I don't bully you anywhere anymore. If you say it, you will only say this, and you will be useless. "You can't let him bully people! Is it plausible? If you feel wronged, tell your sister-in-law! We have a reason to travel around the world. I don't believe that socialist women can be bullied by men, and this is not popular in the primary stage! It's the 1980s, and still Don't tell women to talk, talk!" Like a Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, one group left and another group came. This time, the leader of the group was Uncle Ma, the director of the neighborhood committee.Another big handful of tea leaves.

Uncle Ma started scolding indiscriminately: "You boy, since I was a child, I have seen you as unrighteous. In an alley, you are the leader climbing the telephone poles and hitting the window glass with a slingshot. How few people do you offend? Don't think that you have a family and a job. You are like a human being." Yes. You, Uncle Ma, dare not take care of you anymore. Let me tell you, I will take care of this matter to the end! Back then, Lao Bao opened his house and killed Chen Shimei. Now, you, Uncle Ma, are also stern and unselfish. Love, don't rub the sand in your eyes..."

The branch committee members and personnel cadres of the unit, the female worker committee members and the chairman of the labor union in her factory all came to mediate.Two taels of tea leaves have long since disappeared, and here comes two taels, a great unity. Father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law; mother-in-law, father-in-law, second uncle, and third aunt arrived successively.This is not something that a few handfuls of tea leaves can pass away.Simple but fried noodles.Then you have to bring sugar tickets and put them in your net pocket, and you have to carry a bowl of sweet noodle sauce in your hand, plus vegetables, two cucumbers for three yuan.Running up and down, running in and out.Washing pots and bowls is exhausting and wastes money.

After all the pleadings were handed over to the court, they were not promoted, and the case continued.A man and a woman came, wearing uniforms with big-brimmed hats and carrying briefcases.Kind eyebrows and kind eyes, bright as a mirror, clear as water.After asking about the name and marriage history, the marriage law was preached over and over again. "Your marriage complies with the provisions of Article 4 of the Marriage Law, and there is a foundation." "It's still a contradiction among the people." "According to the provisions of Article 25 of the Marriage Law, we believe that your relationship has not been 'definitely broken' and mediation should be carried out."

A new round of mediation has begun.The house is full of friends and guests almost every day, and people come and go, just like Chinese New Year.A new round of tea consumption began, and the "Great Unity" flew into the sky like a kite, but it didn't fly back. "Take it up, kid! Are you still making trouble? Just stay with me honestly, don't think that you have won the first prize with a Zhang TVU diploma, and no one will recruit you as a son-in-law!" Uncle Ma took up the burden of mediation. Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, Sister Sun, Grandma Wang, branch committee members, personnel cadres, women committee members, trade union chairmen, father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, seven aunts and eight aunts, jasmine, fried noodles... Forget it, parting, the tea bucket is empty again. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
