Chapter 65 Section 6

In previous Christmases, Ding Yi was very busy, because her husband wanted to invite all the staff of the laboratory to dinner at home.There is only one day off for Christmas, and most of the people in the laboratory are foreigners. It is impossible to go back to their own country to reunite with their relatives, so we went to the boss's house to celebrate. But Christmas is approaching this year, and before her husband mentioned the treat, she asked with concern: "Would you please invite people from your laboratory to dinner this Christmas?" "No please." "why?"

"No reason, please please." She was stunned, how could this person not know what to do?I'm doing this for your own good, and I want to help you build a good relationship with the employees, but you're stubborn with me.Please don't pull it down, I'll save some trouble. If according to her own idea, she is too lazy to do anything at Christmas, and she will be leaving soon, so what else should she do.But she also has a daughter, and it would be inappropriate not to create a festive atmosphere. There are wreaths, lanterns, Santa Claus, reindeer, and sleighs in front of people's houses. Rows of colorful lights are installed on the house, which can be seen from eight feet away. If it is dark in front of your house, what does it look like?

My daughter attaches great importance to Christmas, and I have asked her to go out to watch the lanterns at night. Every time I see the lanterns in front of someone's house, I will ask: "Mom, why are there no lanterns on our house?" "Because we are going to J state soon." "When we get to J state, let's install colorful lights for the house?" "I live in an apartment over there, so I can only install colorful lights in my room." The daughter was very disappointed, so she had to buy lanterns too, but she didn't want to make a fuss, and she didn't have the ability to climb to the roof to install lights, so she had to buy some small ones, hang them on the tree in front of the door, and bought a garland. hang on the door.I got a small Christmas tree in the house. Although it is made of plastic, my daughter likes it very much. It took a lot of effort to decorate it and it is very beautiful.

On Christmas Day, she cooked a few special dishes, and then called the laboratory to urge her husband to come home for dinner. She called several times before he agreed to come back. After agreeing, he dragged on for a while before leaving. Ding Ding couldn't wait to eat something. It was hard to hear the sound of the car driving up to the door, but not the sound of the garage door opening.She knew that he would go back to the laboratory later, so she didn't want to be angry anymore, just let him go, as long as she had already gone to J state, and there was no such person at home, just the two of them.

After a while, I heard the sound of opening the door. Her husband came in, holding a wreath in his hand. She asked pleasantly, "You also bought a wreath? We have already bought one and hung it on the door. How about you?" did not see it?" Instead of answering, he tossed the wreath into the recycling bin at home. "Dad, why did you throw our Christmas wreath in the recycling bin?" the daughter yelled. He murmured, "There is no one dead at home, why hang a wreath on the door? It's unlucky!" The daughter still wanted to protest, but the father glared at him: "If I say you can't hang up, then you can't hang up! Your grandparents are old, so hang a wreath on your door and curse them to death?"

My daughter definitely doesn't know what the "curse" is, but he has such a rough voice, just the sound and attitude scare her daughter into not being able to speak, and she looks at him timidly. She couldn't stand it, and criticized in a low voice: "It's a big festival, what are you doing? This is an American custom, and every house hangs this thing on the door." "I'm not an American, and I don't hang this thing in my house. If you want to hang it, go to your American lover's house to hang it." For her daughter's sake, she didn't quarrel with him: "Ding Ding is here, stop talking nonsense."

He glanced at his daughter, didn't mention the American lover again, but stared at Ding Ding's feet in disgust, and ordered, "Tin Ding, take off those dirty shoes!" The daughter looked at the knitted shoes on her feet, but refused to take them off: "My shoes are not dirty." "Hospital shoes, aren't they dirty?" "My mother gave it to me." "It's dirty because your mother gave it to you!" "Not dirty!" "Ask your mother to see if she says it's dirty." She couldn't help it: "Are you deliberately finding fault and making trouble today?"

The husband ignored her and continued to reprimand his daughter: "I repeat, take off this shoe, if you don't take it off, I will beat you." The daughter looked at her father in horror, squatted down, took off her shoes little by little, and then threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly. The husband picked up the pair of shoes, threw them into the trash can, slammed the lid on, and said sharply, "Why are you crying? I'm doing this for your own good. You want to get your mother's dirty disease?" She let go of her daughter, stood up, pointed at him and said, "I have been putting up with you just now for the sake of my daughter, and you have to go further. Today I want you to explain clearly, where did my heart disease come from, you If you don’t make it clear, I’m not done with you!”

He shouted sharply: "Ding Ding, go upstairs to your room! What are you doing standing here? Watching a big show?" Ding Ding was so frightened that she grabbed her clothes tightly and refused to let them go. She comforted her daughter and said, "Ding Ding, you go upstairs to your room first, mom and dad have something to say." "He will hit you!" He shouted loudly: "You want to rebel, you? Just say one more thing, and I'll start fighting with you first!" Ding Ding ran upstairs in fright. When her daughter went upstairs, she still listened worriedly, fearing that her daughter would cry upstairs.

He said angrily: "Since you are so shameless, why should I save face for you? You asked me where your heart disease came from, and I told you that your heart disease was caused by a few foreigners. Professor, once you hear his name, you will know what kind of guy he is. He is old and perverted. He made his own wife sick. People are not people, ghosts are not ghosts, you can mess with him, you don’t feel ashamed. Now you have a dirty disease, and you don’t realize it, and you want to pass it on to your daughter?” Shaking with anger, she tried her best to restrain herself and said, "You should make a draft of your rumors."

"I don't have a draft? I even printed out the denunciation letter, you can read it yourself!" He took out a handful of folded paper from his pants pocket and threw it in front of her. She picked it up, opened it, and it was a printed email. She glanced at it quickly, and it was nothing more than saying that she was not good at studies, so she was working hard in crooked ways, and had a heated fight with Professor Se and Professor Kang in the department. She often visited the offices of these two professors and was locked in for hours In this way, she got an interview from a well-known unit in J State, but she also paid a price for it: she got a venereal disease. What follows are some slogan-style sentences, such as "lost the face of the Chinese people", "shameless rotten people" and the like. She looked at the sender, and it was naturally not a name she knew, but "liangzhi", which probably meant "conscience". She said calmly: "Just based on this e-mail, you believe that I have an improper relationship with two professors? Have you ever thought about why these people send you such an e-mail?" "Other people kindly reminded me, so that I would not be kept in the dark about wearing a cuckold." "Then why don't they even dare to give their real names?" "Who wants to offend these foxes?" "What about the evidence? Did they give you evidence?" "This is the evidence!" She said sarcastically: "If writing an e-mail is evidence, the world would be messed up a long time ago? Who can't write an e-mail? I can write an e-mail about you messing with Wendy in no time." "Don't talk about me. I'm doing the right thing, and I'm going well. No one dares to say that I'm not a word." "I'm also doing the right thing, and I'm going well." "You are so upright, why would someone say you messed around with others?" "This must be written by those classmates who didn't find a job. They didn't find a job, so they wanted to ruin my job. If the job didn't fail, they came to ruin our husband and wife relationship." "Why do people want to ruin our husband and wife relationship? What good will it do them?" He didn't allow her to complain, so he said sternly, "I've given up on you, I just want you to pay attention, don't Pass the disease to Tintin." "I've taken steps, she uses her bathroom and I use mine, we wash our clothes separately." "Like those shoes, she shouldn't be allowed to wear them." "I've put it in the washing machine and ironed it." "I don't allow her to go to J state with you." She has been enduring, and she can't bear it anymore: "Who do you think you are? If you don't allow her to go with me, she won't go with me? I advise you not to push yourself too hard. I am a person who has always been pure and pure. , I have never cheated on you, I have never even flirted with other men. I got this disease, it can only come from you, I did not ask you to settle accounts, you pretended to be innocent? I I warn you, if you talk nonsense like this again, I will divorce you!" "Leave!" He snorted, "Are you scaring me with divorce? Who is afraid that the divorce will fail? I endured it for so long because I had my words first, and I didn't want to be hit by thunder. Since you proposed divorce , then you can’t blame me.” When she said "divorce", she just blurted it out, thinking that he would be intimidated like before, but she didn't expect that he had been thinking about divorce for a long time, but he didn't propose it first because he was afraid of being struck by lightning. Cry without tears, cold heart.She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "You don't have to be afraid of lightning strikes. I proposed the divorce, and you won't be struck by thunder." "Okay, you have written the divorce agreement and signed it for me." "Okay, I'll write it now." She got angry and went online to search for divorce information. He didn't eat or bring any food, so he walked towards the door, but just as he opened the door, he was stopped by several policemen. A white male police officer said very politely in English: "We received a call to the police, saying that there was a domestic violence here, what's going on?" She rushed out to greet her: "We didn't call the police! Did you go to the wrong door?" "Is this number 1903?" "yes." "That's right. Do you have any little girls?" She looked upstairs and nodded. "Upstairs?" the officer asked. "Ok." "I'll go up and talk to her." Seeing that she wanted to follow, the police officer immediately made a stop gesture, "Don't follow, I'll talk to her alone." She was very worried, but she didn't dare to follow, so she had to stand at the bottom of the stairs and watch.Another policewoman came up and started questioning the two of them. After a while, the policeman came down, and Ding Ding followed. She asked in Chinese, "Ding Ding, did you call the police?" "Well. I'm afraid he will hit you." "But he didn't..." "The teacher said to call the police as soon as possible, as soon as possible." The husband seemed very awkward in this kind of English situation. The two women in the family could understand the police officer's questioning, but he had a little difficulty. it is good. After questioning for a while, the two police officers confirmed that he hadn't hit anyone, so they asked her, "Do you feel threatened?" She quickly said, "No, no, he never hits anyone." "Did you use cold violence against you? Such as verbal harm." She couldn't answer this question. If she said no, she would be lying, and she didn't want to lie in front of her daughter; but if she said yes, her husband would probably be taken away.She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "No." The police officer asked Ding Ding again: "Do you feel your safety is threatened?" "It's not me, it's my mother." "But your mother said she wasn't threatened." "She's under threat! I'm not lying!" The police officer reassured: "I know you didn't lie, you did the right thing, you should call the police. Now do you think your own personal safety is threatened?" Ding Ding hesitated for a while, and seeing her mother's pleading eyes, she had to say, "No." So the two police officers left after wishing them a Merry Christmas. As soon as the two police officers left, the father became imposing again, pointed at his daughter and said, "Okay, I have raised you for so many years, and you are going to repay me like this?" "I didn't support me." "Didn't I raise you? Could it be that you were raised by wild dogs? I'm still raising you now. I didn't earn what you eat and use." The daughter said loudly: "I have been dead for many years, and he did not support me!" She almost laughed: "Okay, Ding Ding, you'd better go upstairs, I'll talk to your father." The daughter went upstairs, and she said in a low voice, "What 'Lao Tzu' are you bringing in front of your child? You are still an intellectual, and you keep saying 'Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu' like that. Your daughter doesn't know what you are talking about, she I thought it was the Laozi you mentioned about Confucius and Laozi." He turned to vent his anger on her: "It's not that you usually instigate, she would think of calling the police?" "Didn't you listen to her? The teacher taught her." "Hmph, don't teach students to respect their parents, but also teach students to call the police to arrest their father, what do you want this kind of bastard teacher for?" "It's not the teacher who is an asshole, but you are an asshole. You didn't look in the mirror yourself, and you don't know how fierce your face looks. Can the child not be afraid? If I didn't show mercy today, you would be arrested. Christmas I will go to jail on Sunday, and I will sentence you to prison for a few more months, and see if you know if you regret it at that time." He said desperately: "If you regret not sending me to prison, go and call them back now. I will wait here. I don't believe it. I didn't beat you, and I didn't scold you. How dare they send me to prison?" Do I get into the bureau?" She really wanted to call the two police officers back and put him in jail, even if it was only for an hour or two, it would at least prove that she was right. But she held back just in time. He stood up: "Don't call the police? If you don't call me, go to the laboratory." "You don't eat anymore?" "Hmph, what are you eating now? I'm full of gas." When her husband left, she immediately went upstairs to see her daughter and found her crying in the room.She hurried over to hug her daughter, and said comfortingly, "Ding Ding, it's okay, it's okay for father and mother to argue about something." "Mom, why is my father so fierce?" "He misunderstood Mom." "Why did he misunderstand you?" "Because he listened to other people's rumors." "Why do other people spread rumors?" "Because they saw that mum got a good job and they didn't, they were jealous and not convinced." "Who are they?" "I do not know either." She comforted her daughter for a while, and finally comforted her daughter. "I still want to wear those shoes," the daughter whispered. "Then we'll take it out of the bin, wash it and wear it." "Will Dad lose his temper when he sees it?" "He can't see it. He leaves early and returns late every day, and stays in the laboratory all day. How could he see what shoes you are wearing?" The daughter shrank her neck and ran downstairs to get the shoes, and then she helped her daughter put the shoes in the washing machine for washing.When the washing machine started, she said to her daughter, "Come on, let's go downstairs for Christmas dinner." In fact, she was not in the mood for Christmas dinner at all, but she didn't want her daughter to have a miserable holiday, so she showed a hundred times of courage, put on a happy mask, and celebrated Christmas with her daughter.
