Zongzhen said: "She became such a person later on—even my mother fell out with her, and blamed me for marrying her! She—her temper—she didn't even graduate from elementary school. " Cuiyuan couldn't help smiling and said: "You seem to value that paper diploma very much! In fact, women's education is nothing more than that!" She didn't know why she said this, and it hurt her own heart.Zongzhen said: "Of course, you can make sarcastic remarks beside me, because you are highly educated. You don't know what kind of person she is—" He paused, out of breath, just wearing Put on your glasses, then take them off to wipe the lenses.Cuiyuan said: "Are you talking too much?" Zongzhen held his glasses in his hand and made a gesture with difficulty: "You don't know

She is—" Cuiyuan hurriedly said, "I know, I know. "She knows that their husband and wife are not getting along, and he must not blame his wife alone. He is also a simple-minded person. He needs a woman who forgives him and tolerates him. There was a commotion on the street, and two trucks, full of soldiers, arrived with a bang.Cuiyuan and Zongzhen went out to look around at the same time; unexpectedly, their faces were very close.In a very short distance, anyone's face is different from the usual, tense like a close-up on a screen.Zongzhen and Cuiyuan suddenly felt that this was the first time they met.In Zongzhen's eyes, her face is like a peony flower drawn with a few simple strokes, and the two or three short hairs on the forehead are the stamens in the wind.

He looked at her and she blushed.She blushed for him to see, and he was obviously very pleased.She blushed more and more. Zongzhen didn't expect that he could make a woman blush, make her smile, make her turn her face away, make her turn her head.Here he is a man.Usually, he is an accountant, he is the father of a child, he is a parent, he is a passenger in a car, he is a customer in a store, and he is a citizen.But to this woman who didn't know his details, he was just a simple man. They are in love.He told her a lot about who in their bank was the best with him, who was at odds with him, how the family was at loggerheads, his secret sorrows, his aspirations when he was studying... endless words, But she is not bothered.Men who are in love always like to say that women who are in love are exceptionally not talkative, because subconsciously she knows that after a man has thoroughly understood a woman, he will not love her.

Zongzhen concluded that Cuiyuan was a lovely woman—white, thin, and warm, like the breath coming out of your own mouth in winter.If you don't want her, she will quietly drift away.She is a part of yourself that understands everything and forgives you everything.When you tell the truth, she feels sorry for you; when you tell lies, she smiles, as if to say, "Look at your mouth!" Zongzhen was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I plan to remarry." Cuiyuan quickly put on a panicked look, and shouted: "You want a divorce? Then... I'm afraid you can't do it?" Zongzhen said: "I can't Divorce. I have to take care of my children's happiness. My eldest daughter is thirteen years old this year, and she just entered middle school, and her grades are very good." Cuiyuan thought to herself, "What does this have to do with the current problem?" She said coldly Said: "Oh, you plan to marry a concubine." Zongzhen said: "I am going to treat her as a wife. I - I will arrange it for her. I will not make things difficult for her." Cuiyuan said: "But, if She's a girl from a good family, I'm afraid she won't agree? All kinds of legal troubles..." Zongzhen sighed and said: "Yes, you are right. I have no rights. I shouldn't have caused this at all. This kind of thought... I am too old. I am already thirty-five years old." Cuiyuan said slowly: "Actually, judging from the current point of view, that is not too old." Zongzhen remained silent for a long while Said: "How old are you?" Cuiyuan lowered his head and said: "Twenty-five." Zongzhen paused, then asked: "Are you free?" Cuiyuan didn't answer.Zongzhen said: "You are not free. Even if you agreed, your family members would not agree, would they?...Isn't it?"

Cuiyuan tightened her lips.The people in her family—those spotless good people—she hated them!They coaxed her enough.They want her to find a rich son-in-law, Zongzhen has no money but has a wife - it's okay to be angry with them!gas!You deserve it! The number of people on the bus gradually increased again. There may be rumors outside that "the blockade will be opened soon". Passengers came up one by one and sat down. Zongzhen and Cuiyuan crowded them tightly. Come closer. Zongzhen and Cuiyuan wondered why they were so confused just now, they didn't think to sit closer automatically.Zongzhen felt that he was too happy to protest.He said to her in a bitter voice: "No! This can't be done! I can't let you sacrifice your future! You are a high-class person, you have such a good education... I-I don't have much money, I can't I've ruined your whole life!" No, it's still a matter of money.He has a point.Cuiyuan thought: "It's over." She will probably get married in the future, but her husband will never be as cute as a person she meets by chance—the person on the blocked tram...everything will never be like this again nature.Never again... Heh, this man is so stupid!so stupid!She only wants a part of his life, a part that no one wants.He wasted his own happiness for nothing.What a stupid waste!She cried, but it was not a gentle, ladylike cry.She literally spat her tears in his face.He was a good man—one more good man in the world!

What's the use of explaining to him?If a woman has to rely on her words to impress a man, she is too pitiful. Zongzhen was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and repeatedly shook the parasol in her hand with his hands.She ignored him, and he went to shake her hand again, saying: "I said—I said—there is someone here! Don't! Don't do this! We will talk carefully on the phone later. You tell me your phone number. "Cuiyuan didn't answer.He forcefully asked: "You have to give me a phone number no matter what." Cuiyuan quickly said: "Seven five three six nine." Zongzhen said: "Seven five three six nine?" sounded.Zongzhen murmured and repeated: "Seven, five, three, six, nine," reaching out his hand to find the fountain pen in his upper and lower pockets, the busier he was, the more he couldn't find it.There is a red pencil in Cuiyuan's purse, but she deliberately does not take it out.He should remember her phone number, but he can't. If he doesn't love her, they don't need to talk further.

The blockade is open. "Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling" rings the bell, and each word "Ling" is a little bit cold, connecting little by little to form a dotted line, cutting off time and space. A cheering wind blew through the big city, and the tram drove forward.Zongzhen stood up suddenly, squeezed into the crowd, and disappeared.Cuiyuan turned her head away and just ignored it.He was gone, and to her, he was dead.The tram speeded up and moved forward. On the sidewalk at dusk, the seller of dried stinky tofu rested his burden. He was holding Wen Wangshen's box and shaking it with his eyes closed.A tall, blond woman with a big straw hat on her back smiled at an Italian sailor and said a joke with her big teeth showing.Cuiyuan's eyes saw them, and they lived, only for a moment.The car dangled forward, and they died one by one.

Cuiyuan closed her eyes in annoyance.If he calls her, she will definitely not be able to control her voice, and she will be extremely warm to him, because he is a person who died and came back to life. The lights in the tram were turned on, and when she opened her eyes, she saw him sitting far away in his original seat.She was startled—it turned out that he didn't get out of the car!She understood what he meant: everything during the blockade was as if it hadn't happened.The whole of Shanghai dozed off and had an unreasonable dream. The trolley driver sang loudly: "Poor, poor! I have no money alone! Poor, but—" A poor woman hurried past the front of the car and crossed the road.The tram driver yelled, "Pigs!"
