The next morning my husband came to pick me up, and I followed him home. We have to pick an appropriate time to raise the matter of divorce with him, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief after this matter is settled. Not a word was spoken on the way. After a long time, I remembered and asked, "Where is the wreckage of my car?" "It has been returned and piled up in the garage." "Whether it becomes a mass of rotten iron." "See for yourself, it's the newest toy for kids." After a short pause, I said again: "During the hospitalization, I added a lot of pressure to you, sorry."

He was stunned, looked at me, and said nothing. "I'm home," I called out joyfully and impatiently, "brother and sister, why don't you come over to welcome mom?" They were playing with small flying machines outside the door. When they heard my call, they dropped their toys and ran over. I got out of the car and hugged them, "Hey, what's on today?" The younger sister immediately asked: "What good idea does Mom have?" "Have you ever played a scavenger hunt?" The younger brother opened his mouth wide, "I heard that there is such a thing, but because of its complexity, not many people play it anymore."

"We'll start playing tonight, let me arrange dinner first." Going into the heart of the kitchen in a hurry, I saw a lot of vegetables, probably they bought them to adjust their appetite. The husband followed in, "You, cook?" He was infinitely surprised. I took a bite of the apple and put it down, feeling a little strange in my heart. There are many important things to do, so why get into the kitchen first?Once you come, you will be safe, and you will go out after cooking. "Is there anything wrong with you?" the husband asked. I came back to my senses, "It's nothing. Where is Mom, when will she come?"

"I'm here." Her voice came from the kitchen window. I poked my head out and laughed, "I'm thinking about you, come in quickly." She changed into a new set of clothes, with her favorite ornament pinned to her collar. I wiped it on my hand and pulled the front of her front. "This pin is so fun and looks great with anything," Mother said in surprise, "You keep saying it's not popular anymore." "Yeah," I thought, "it's pretty." The mother smiled, "You have been more careful after you were discharged from the hospital."

"Getting enough rest is of course more leisurely," I sighed, "I'm usually busy and crying when I'm tired, so I can't help being a little irritable." "You can resign," said the mother. "It's so full that people don't know how to be hungry, so I quit my job," I laughed, "don't you need to live?" "At least take a long vacation." "Hey, after the holiday this time, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Maybe the library thinks that the replacement worker is better than me, so I will lose my job."

The mother also admitted, "Wow, what a competition." As I set the tableware, I was deeply surprised and strange. I never discussed private matters with my mother before, so how can I chat with her today? But the conversation made my mother happy, she held a drink, was full of energy, and talked non-stop. The food satisfies the kids.Later we started playing, and I secretly wrapped a candy and a copper coin in tinfoil, hid them in an empty paint can in the garage, and asked the children to find them. I'll give them appropriate hints along the way, and even give them warnings when things get tough.

That's enough to keep them busy all afternoon. The younger brother kept saying, "Wow, it's very interesting and exciting." The younger sister asked: "Is it something you can eat, and what prize will you get if you find it?" The husband joined the search with the children at first, but after an hour he gave up and went to rest in the workshop. Mother said: "Your family hasn't had such a harmonious and warm atmosphere for a long time." I also remember that this family was not happy. The adults kept arguing, and the children were bored and lonely.

I smiled ashamedly and said nothing. I laughed out loud as the kids went to find their bedroom, turned upside down, and made a carpet search. When the husband heard the sound, he had a question mark on his face. Mother said: "I don't believe it. In the past, you didn't let them step into the room." Is it true that I am so unreasonable? I clapped my palms, "Children, I got the wrong way. The treasure is not here. I will give you another reminder. Pay attention: pearls are covered with grass, and you can find them in the trash." The younger brother and younger sister ran to the basement with a whoosh: even the mother shook her head, "It's too much trouble."

"I think they're happy," said the husband. I looked at my husband, this is a good opportunity, I have something to say. I said to my mother: "Mom, can you avoid it for a while?" Mother knew that we were going to discuss important matters, and sighed, "I'll go home first." "I'll come and see you tomorrow." I send her out the door. The husband naturally also has points, we sat down, and while the child was not in front of me, I was very civilized and he said: "Let's break up." He was also very calm, "Okay." "Thank you, I will go to this matter right away, do you have any special conditions?"

He thought about it, "No, what about you?" I shake my head. "You know, if we keep our peace of mind, the marriage can survive." I lowered my head, "I think I still owe a little." "You're childish again." "Maybe, we don't have to argue about this issue anymore. Since the two sides have decided to resolve it peacefully, it's best." At the end of the meeting, my heart is still like water. I have contacted my supervisor and will resume work next month. The accident passed, life went on as usual, I didn't know where I was, and I was bored to death.

At dusk, when the children finally found the garage, I issued an emergency report, and they cheered, knowing that they had found the right place. The younger brother ran out and asked, "What is this?" holding a black plastic dish. "Software," I said, "is a part of an old computer." "No," said the husband, "it's records." I said, "My God, I haven't even seen it." The younger brother said, "I will continue to work hard and not let my younger sister win." He ran away. The husband took it: "At least fifty years old." I look at the old label on the plate, Sleepy Lagoon?What the hell is this? " "A song." The husband replied. I laughed, "A song called Sleepy Lagoon? Amazing taste." "The titles of their songs back then were really scary. I remember one called "I'm On Fire" and another called "Do You Think I'm Sexy"?" "Oops." I covered my mouth. My husband suddenly took my hand, "If we can talk about everything, why break up?" I said gently: "I guarantee that we will quarrel again in less than three days. We are not fellow travelers." He is depressed. I put the record aside, "Can I get a machine and listen to it?" "Go to the antique shop to find it." Suddenly, the children shouted: "I found it, I found it." I immediately stood up, "The game is over, I'm going to present the awards." Walking to the garage, I saw my younger brother holding a tin bag high in his hand, and my younger sister jumped to grab it. At first glance, it looks very similar, but when you get closer, you can feel that the package is huge, about 20 centimeters by 12 centimeters. I laugh, "What is this? Keep trying, it's not it." My brother threw the package to me with one hand and went to look for it again. I held the bag in my hand, feeling strange, and weighed it, but it wasn't too heavy. "Where did you find it?" My sister pointed. Ah, this is not my car?The front end was dent and badly damaged, a door fell off and the interlining was ruptured, where the kid found the tinfoil packet. I asked, "Did you cut it?" "Anyway, it's trash," said the younger brother, "We are eager to win the award." Who put this bag there?not me. What is it? I took it to the bedroom and slowly took it apart. The package was made very carefully, with a total of three layers. At the end, it was a paper box with blossoming roses printed on it, which was beautiful and delicate. What exactly is this?Never seen anything like it, but certainly not dangerous. The lid of the box has not been opened yet, and there is already a burst of fragrance. This smell is very strange, very sweet, very rich, and it emerges from the box indistinctly, as if hooking my soul. I was suddenly lost, and opened the box with trembling hands. There was still a layer of white transparent butter paper inside the box. Gold letters were stamped on the butter paper: Fang's Sugar Factory. Sugar, what sugar is like this? Lift the tissue paper, put it on the tip of the nose and smell it, the fragrance is deeply in the heart, and I can't help but take a piece and put it in my mouth. Not even the poison. The sugar melts as soon as it enters the mouth, and penetrates into the taste buds. It is as smooth and sweet as velvet. It is strange that this taste seems familiar. Who put this candy in the door of the crappy car? It seems that I know it, but I don't quite remember it. The whole person is like falling into the dawn, and there seems to be a gleam of golden light penetrating through the thick fog, but it can't be clearly seen. I couldn't help eating another piece of candy. This small box has a small capacity, so I don't need to eat it. At this time, a piece of memory suddenly emerged, and I knew what it was, this kind of candy is called chocolate!Production ceased due to cacao extinction. Fang Zhongxin, there is a man named Fang Zhongxin, he is the master of candy. I covered my mouth with my hand, Fang Zhongxin, I stood up abruptly, he was the one who hid the candy there, he was determined to treat me well, even if I came to another world, he still managed to take care of me. I remembered it, it was sugar that recalled my memory, no, no, no, it was Nelson, he secretly manipulated my memory, kept it from his companions, and forced me to leave the hospital, only he knew that I kept it Memories of previous lives. I panicked, my limbs were cold, I didn't know where to put these illegal memories, my heart was beating suddenly, and it took me a while to recover before I felt a pain like a needle in my heart. Nelson was right, the memories didn't do me any good. Madame warned me so, and I begged them to let me keep the memory. I thought sadly, don't regret, don't be annoyed, take care of these precious memories carefully. I clenched my hands and didn't know what to do at first. After a while, I calmed down, took a deep sniff of the chocolate candy, and put it in the drawer. Nelson finally granted my request, perhaps out of sympathy, perhaps because of his father, and he did me a great favor. I smiled. He was as lively and witty as his father, and father and son were equally remarkable figures. The children broke in at this time, "Hey, I finally found it." They held copper coins high in their hands. I quickly said: "It's amazing, let me see, what prize do you want?" The younger brother and younger sister looked at each other and said in unanimous agreement: "I want my mother to play with us like this often when she is free." "Definitely." I said. They cheered and jumped out. I looked out of the window, weeping in a daze, my heart was full of past events. This moon is not that moon, there is no moon at night here. I lay on the table all night until the sun came up. My husband came in, saw me, and asked unexpectedly: "So early?" This kind of tone is already very rare. I forced a smile, "Insomnia." "Do you want to see a doctor?" "I'm fine." "Take care of yourself." He had done his best, shrugged his shoulders and went about his own business. I took a sip of bitter water, and another sip of bitter water.
