Chapter 8 chapter eight

I went to Tang Jing's house and rang the bell, and there was music coming from her small apartment, as if it was a party, and I stamped anxiously. The door opened, and Tang Jing was very surprised to see it was me, and her face returned to normal in an instant. I whispered, "Are there any guests?" "There's a very special guest," she said calmly, "and I'll introduce you." She ushered me into the room. Sitting in the small living room was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and I knew it was Mo Jiaqian.He is not handsome, but he looks infinitely ironed and comfortable, and he stood up immediately when he saw me.

"Needless to say, I know it's the Zijun Tang Jing is talking about," he said. I shake hands with him. A stomach full of words, because of him, can not say a word. No wonder I hate him. And Tang Jing was very polite, "Zijun, what do you drink? There is 'Royal Salute' whiskey." "Hot milk," I said. Tang Jing pushed me three kilometers away at once.There is no way for misfortune and good fortune, only people invite themselves, and I only blame myself.She is a glass heart.When I rushed to the door in the middle of the night in such a panic, she should know that I meant insulting, but she had no choice but to have an important outsider in her arms, so she had nothing to say.

Only then did I hear that the music was a violin. I couldn't stand such a tune of killing chickens and ducks, so I frowned naturally. I looked at Mo Jiaqian carefully, deliberately trying to find fault with him, but in the end I only felt that he was invulnerable. Mo Jiaqian's suit is not old, his watch is not ostentatious, his shoes are clean and shiny, his tie is half loose, his shirt is just the right color, he wears a black crocodile belt, and he has no dazzling accessories. demeanor. I immediately felt like I had lost the battle. How many men like this are left in Hong Kong?

What is rare is that there is a fortitude between his brows, which Shi Juansheng lacks.Juansheng's cowardice has not even bothered to elaborate. A pair of wall people. Tang Jing really wants to leave me. Marriage and having children with such a person should also be done. My nose was sore, tears welled up, filled my eyes, turned around, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the flow. Tang Jing asked me with a smile: "What do you think of him?" "Very good." I nodded desperately. Tang Jing said with a smile: "I also think it's very good, but the nostrils are bigger. The fortune teller said that people with big nostrils will spend money."

"what." "Mo Jiaqian's one nostril is called Guan Nalisi, and the other is called Stradiworth." "What?" I didn't understand. Mo Jiaqian laughed. I can't sit still, the jokes between them, the tacit understanding between them, what's the use of thirty years of friendship?I sighed and was immediately demoted to a stranger. The friendship between a woman and a woman is of no use, look at the two of them as glue, I have been married to Juansheng for more than ten years, and I have never been so happy and satisfied. I said, "I...say goodbye."

Tang Jing did not keep me. I said to her at the door, "I'm here to apologize." "We are not children, so we don't need to keep small things in mind." She said casually. "Will you forgive me?" I asked the old land. She was very surprised, "Let's not mention this matter in the future, shall we?" She no longer scolds me and satirizes me. I understand that Tang Jing is determined to end our intimate relationship and replace it with a friendship of gentlemen who respect each other. I can't turn the tide.After staying for a while, I said, "It's my fault."

Talking more would be superfluous, so I turned and left. no party last forever. I am a weak person, there must always be a backer behind me, Tang Jing is there when Juansheng leaves, what happens after Tang Jing? I look at my legs, I really should stand on my own. I asked Zhang Yunxin: "What is Guan Nasi? Strati Wallis?" "Ah. Both are violin masters from the 17th to 18th centuries. These antique violins have beautiful sounds and are expensive, and they are collected by special personnel." snort!It turns out that Mo Jiaqian probably also wants to get his hands on these violins, so Tang Jing said that he has big nostrils and knows how to spend money.

Two people exhaled through one nostril. Jones was unsuccessful in keeping me, and the glory of work was nothing to a woman who didn't wait for money.But during the conversation, I found an interesting side of his personality. "You have an ugly face, like a person who has lost love." "yes?" "Where's your girlfriend?" "She was planning to get married and we became estranged." "No wonder! I heard that people like you are not easy to find a partner." He took it for granted that Tang Jing and I were gay. "No," I smiled, "she is so beautiful."

"Love," his curiosity was completely aroused by me, "two women...what's going on?" "It's all because there are no good men on the market." I complained. He felt itchy, "Why is there no good man?" "Are you a good man?" I asked. "I also have a legitimate job." "But not the object of marriage." I slipped. "You two women can't get married and have children, it doesn't help." I sighed and said, "Only women know women's suffering." "What's going on?" His face flushed with curiosity, "I heard that you have a meeting, right? Anyone who has this habit will recommend each other, isn't it?"

"Yes, I am the chairman." I smiled. "Zijun, be honest." "How can you blame me for being dishonest when you think about going astray?" "It's fine if you don't want to reveal the secret." He has his innocence. When I returned to Zhang Yunxin's place to make ceramics, I asked him: "Do people like you have a meeting to recommend each other?" "What did you say?" Zhang Yunxin seemed to see a poisonous snake, his eyes were like copper bells. "I asked, you gay people, what's going on?" "I strangled you, who told you I was gay?" he screamed, "Zijun, I strangled you."

I looked at him calmly: "Only women strangle people, men usually only beat people to death." He turned his head away and didn't answer me. It can be seen that the anger is gradually calming down. I asked, "Why didn't you admit it? You didn't commit a crime." He said: "I don't know, I have an instinctive guilty conscience." "Sorry" I washed my hands, "I was so reckless." "You are too curious, and it will cost you friends." I smiled wryly, "I've already lost a friend for this." "Tomorrow we'll be visited by people from the Waltergall Mint," he said. "What are you doing?" I was also happy to change the subject and say something else. "Selling business." "mint?" "Recently, they also act as an agent for porcelain, a set, which is sold separately every month, so that ordinary people can afford it, which is very useful." Yes, I have also seen advertisements in newspapers, such as a set of flower cups for the twelve seasons. "You've got great powers," I said, "to reach them." Zhang Yunxin was proud, "Who dares to say that I am not a good businessman." "Will you leave me?" I asked. "Don't worry, Zijun, if possible, I will marry you. In my eyes, you are the only lovely woman." "I'm flattered." I smiled. When Fahrenheit's large group of people arrived, the master asked me to wait on him. That group of people is not easy to serve, with hawk-like eyes picking on our finished products, there is no politeness in words, but the attitude clearly shows that they are rotten pots and tiles. I gloated and deserved it. Zhang Yunxin makes a fool of himself whenever he meets someone who knows the real thing. Although Fahrenheit's products are also decorations, they are more serious and delicate. They came with two men and two women, one young and the other white-haired. Zhang Yunxin swept away the exhaustion of the artist and waited on him attentively. Finally the old gentleman said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, thank you for entertaining us to visit." It seems that this is a retreat, and they don't plan to watch it any more. Zhang Yunxin's face turned pale. "Wait," said the old lady suddenly, "what is this?" She leans down and carefully lifts a finished product on the ledge, as if it were alive. I leaned over to have a look, "Oh, those clowns." I was very surprised. I took it out of the oven and placed it on the windowsill in a row. The old lady greeted her companion, "Come and see, it's a miracle." The other three also quickly picked up the dozen or so human figures to watch. The old man turned his head with a smile on his face, "Mr. Zhang, is this also your work?" Lao Zhang hurriedly said, "Yes." I gave him a blank look, it doesn't make sense. He quickly changed his words, "This is the work of 'our', me and my apprentice." I rushed to say: "Partner." If there is an opportunity, I should seize it immediately. "Yes," Lao Zhang said bitterly, "I'm partnering with her." The old man said: "It's beautiful, but it's a pity that there is no system." I quickly said: "We can plan it, if the appearance is suitable, we can improve it, can't we?" The old lady sat down, and the other three followed suit. I was bubbling with excitement, and hurried to squeeze beside the old lady. Lao Zhang's eyes looked like fire, but he was helpless. The young gentleman said: "The facial expression of the human figure can still be improved." "Yes, yes." I said. "A total of six styles is enough." The old man said, "The costumes can also be determined according to the court clowns of each dynasty." The young lady said: "This size is just right, very cute." The old gentleman said: "You first make a set of six samples to see." "Yes, yes." Lao Zhang answered quickly. The old gentleman said to his companion: "Today is a great harvest." I said, "In a week, we can deliver the board." "Okay, I'll ask the local agent to contact you." We sent them respectfully to the door and closed the door! Lao Zhang and I first cheered: "Hey!" Then I scolded him: "Shameless, did you make this clown?" "Bitch," he also scolded back, "Crossing the bridge to draw boards, teaching apprentices, without a master, it's a pity that I single-handedly promoted you." "That's why I asked you to be my partner, otherwise why did I give you such a good opportunity?" I was triumphant. "Zijun, now I know your true face. In fact, you are no different from other women." He said, "The most poisonous woman in the world." "I never said I was different from other women." "'Yes, yes, yes, yes', I will flatter the big boss." He squinted at me. "He who knows the current affairs is a hero." After more than a year of work, why not learn? "Hey, partner, what can this set of things bring us?" "If people really pay the copyright to produce it, apprentice, we don't have to worry about our life in three years." Lao Zhang said. "Really?" I stuck out my tongue. "But there are a lot of technical things that you can't do without me." "I know that. Well, partner, aren't we going to be lucky with that?" He also admitted: "It looks like there is hope and luck." When luck comes, you can't stop it. Yunxin and I hardly ever made our hair gray. We searched for information all night and rushed out the draft of the drawing. We first sent it to the Hong Kong agent of Huate Geer Factory, and then started to make the mold blank. Mouth astringent. Lao Zhang scolded: "Why didn't you make it bigger at the beginning? Ask for trouble." I sighed and said: "At that time, there was only a little bit of mud left in my hand, and I squeezed it carelessly. Who would know that I accidentally planted willows and willows to make shade?" On the night when I was done, I was so exhausted that I couldn't straighten my waist. I told Lao Zhang, "If Fahrenheit doesn't want our dolls, I'll switch to selling peanuts." "You changed your career? How long have you been in the industry?" I also admit that what he said is reasonable. There are many technical problems. Without Lao Zhang, it would not work at all. He is an expert, and I have a lot to learn. The afternoon we delivered the goods was also the day when Ziqun held a wedding. I'm going to watch the ceremony. When it was raining, the guests were all holding umbrellas, and there were rainbows of gasoline on the wet ground. I'm wearing a new white dress I bought.Stepping into the water with white leather shoes gives a feeling of pleasure, a kind of waste, luxurious luxury, which can be sacrificed, so what does it matter. (When Shi Juansheng and I filed for divorce, he must have been in the same mood.) Ziqun was dressed up beautifully, with a soft white short gauze skirt, a small gauze hat, white gloves, and her face was very neat after heavy makeup. It's a pity that it was raining, and the bride in the rain was very romantic. We stood together and took pictures under the flowers and leaves. Shi Juansheng arrived at this time, it's hard for him to be so considerate, in fact, Ziqun is just his in-laws, he has broken off my marriage, so he doesn't have to do the kinship ritual, I don't know why he came. After taking photos, the couple left in a float. Shi Juansheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked towards me. "...beautiful," he said. I thought he said to Ziqun, "All brides are beautiful." But he said: "No, I mean you." I was stunned for a moment, "Me?" "yes." I said slightly sarcastically, "That's too polite." After the divorce, he praised me for being beautiful, directly and indirectly, more than once. "How about a cup of coffee?" he asked. I look at my watch and nod. "To the cafe on the top of the mountain?" He asked again. "No." I immediately declined. That place is so beautiful, it's not a place to go with my ex-husband, just borrow a place in the city to settle down, why waste time going to the top of the mountain?Spoil the mood there. I said, "Just sit nearby." He was disappointed, "You used to like it there." "I used to be blind to romance." I wrote it down. before?How was it before?It's a shame he brought it up today. We sat down in a small western restaurant and ordered drinks. "What do you give Ziqun for getting married?" He asked. "One thousand yuan gift certificate." "Hey, didn't you like to spend time picking out exquisite gifts before?" I'm impatient, before was before. "I'll give you a set of silverware." He was a little uneasy. "Why bother?" I said politely. "Her husband's face is flushed and he is very proud," Juansheng said again. "Of course, it's his ability to marry Ziqun." I sighed, "Actually, Ziqun is just unlucky. Many times other women's things go well, but she gets stuck at that hurdle." "it's good now." "Hey, it's a blessing in disguise. It's not a blessing. She followed the old man away, saved a lot of trouble, and went to a foreign country to live a life of indifference to the world. How great it is." "Why isn't your mother here?" "I don't know, probably because I feel ashamed." My mother wants to save face the most. Among the guests, there were many gorgeous ladies with purple lips and blue eyelids, most of whom were public relations ladies, and the other half were foreigners. I thought about a long, long time ago, about thirty years ago, when my father took me to a Western-style wedding, I made a fool of myself because I couldn’t figure out how to take the spoon out of the cup and put it on the saucer while eating milk tea.Unforgettable. Later, when I became a mother, I took An'er out and taught her how to eat Western food and use a knife and fork. Thinking of this, I smile. "You haven't come to see Ping'er for a long time," Juan Sheng said. "Yes, I'm extremely busy." I apologized, "But Ping'er doesn't miss me either." "What are you busy with?" He couldn't help asking, "Even An'er said you haven't written a letter for a long time." I said, "I'm taking a little private business and partnering with a friend." "You can do it," he said suspiciously. I replied to him: "Roads are made by people." "I didn't expect you to be so capable." "Forced to the top." I said. "I'm getting married soon." He bowed his head. "you said before." "Zijun, if I turn around, Zijun," he suddenly reached out to hold my hand, "if—" I threw his hand away, "What are you talking about?" I frowned, "We have already signed a divorce, don't be crazy." Juansheng murmured: "Yes, you are right, it's my fault. I always think you are stupid, not smart enough, but I don't know it's because of your family. After being locked in the house for a long time, you will naturally stay silent... ...After the divorce, you have become such an outstanding woman, I underestimated you, this is the punishment I deserve. " After hearing this, I felt no joy at all, I just said politely and politely: "It's no wonder you broke up with me, I was not cute before." This year I've been outside, and I've come to realize the truth that if you want to live happily, you have to step on a carpet first, otherwise someone will come to do justice for the sky and frustrate you. Instead of waiting for others to do it, it's better to slap your mouth first , In short, if I slander myself to the point of being worthless, others will calm down and stop being jealous, and I can bear the burden of humiliation. I didn't expect to be used to this trick in normal times, it is too handy, and when it is not necessary to use it, I will use it, and I don't know whether it is sadness or joy for my tact.A person will learn to be good when he suffers. When I think of being Mrs. Shi Juansheng at that time, I don’t have to do anything. I just paced up and down in the hall, and I didn’t feel any joy when I went to dinner with him at night. Now that I think about it, That kind of young mistress lives like a fairy. Today, Shi Juansheng's heart moved, begging me to get back together, why did I refuse?I really miss the freedom outside so much, no no, in fact, everyone has a minimum of self-esteem, I am not a dog, who comes and goes when I call it - Shi Juansheng thinks I am stupid, and immediately replaces a new person around me, Shi Juansheng thinks I had medicine to save me, and I crawled back to him again. I can not do it. For more than a year, my knowledge and life have increased, and I can earn a living. He is no longer my master and my god. I don’t have to look back. This battle has been fought to the end. It turns out that I am the winner. I defeated the environment , live a healthier life than before, but there is no joy in my heart. I said, "Juansheng, I sincerely wish you a happy relationship with Gu Lingling. She is a woman with a lot of plans, and she just complements your weaknesses. You cooperate very well together." He stopped talking. I get up and go. I don't have any worries in my heart. The universe is so big, the sky is so wide, and my future is so bright, but I am not happy at all. Because of the vicissitudes of life in my heart. The brainchild of Lao Zhang and I did not return the ticket. The two of us got a contract, which allowed us to draw 15% of the royalties. Lao Zhang and I were in a daze for a long time with mixed feelings and sorrows. Poor, the care of the Mint of Waltergall has set us above many. We are content. As Lao Zhang said: "Although you can't buy a Rolls-Royce, the small Japanese car is no longer a problem." I put a big stone in my heart. Leaving the family and going out, I was surprised that I was so promising. Lao Zhang shrugged and said, "Some people are old luck." It is a bit harsh to be engraved, but it may not be true. Oddly enough, it was the same company that I used to work for that acted as the agent for the overall publicity of the Watgall Mint—yes, I had the opportunity to meet Collin Jones again. And really, everyone has his benefits, especially when that person is no longer the boss. This young Canadian man has a kind of carefulness that is not fake, and he can subdue women very well. Even when discussing business affairs, he still flirted with me, saying, "We are destined, you can't hide from me." Zhang Yunxin doesn't like socializing, but whenever there is a publicity meeting, he pushes me to the front line to sacrifice, and he hides at home to help me solve the problem of "skills". I didn’t move, but Lao Zhang moved upside down. It takes a full hour and a half to drive to his place. It’s a half-new country house with a large open space in front of the house, several shadow trees, and two large rope beds. , Envious of others, the scenery of the opposite prison is a sea, when the sky is sunny, the waves are shining, lying on the rope bed is like being reborn, and I don’t want to think about it anymore, I just want to die happily. I once took Ping'er to play in this country house, he liked it very much, and put his remote control model car in the open space. During the break, he suddenly asked, "Is Lao Zhang your boyfriend?" I am stunned. Unexpectedly, Ping'er, who had no intentions, would ask such a question. He tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and was sipping a can of Coke. Under the silent sunlight, I stared at his lovely face, my son, and I said in my heart: This child is my precious heart, but as he grows up, he gradually doubts Mother, I am afraid that the day when I leave my mother is not far away. I replied, "No, he's my mother's business partner, not her boyfriend." Ping'er sipped the straw with a "hiss" sound, as if he didn't quite believe it. "Grandma said you'd be married soon," he said. I was surprised, "Grandma really said that?" It was more enlightened than I thought.Times are different now. "Daddy's getting married, and you're getting married," he said. "No, mom doesn't have anyone to marry yet." Ping'er said: "If you marry a foreigner, I can't speak English, so I can't speak to him." I wondered more and more, "Who said I married a foreigner?" "Papa said he saw you with a blond foreigner." "No such thing." I firmly denied. Ping'er's big eyes flicked on me, and after he finished drinking the Coke, he threw the can far away and landed on the ground with a "dang". I asked Ping'er: "What have you been doing recently?" "Going to and from school," he said like an adult, with infinite regret in his tone, "All the time is spent on homework, and grandma only allows me to watch cartoons for half an hour, 'Electronic Robot', very exciting." I asked, "What about the weekend?" "Dad is coming to visit us." "that is good." "But Mom, you don't live with me anymore." Ping'er said. I was so excited, "You miss mom?" "Of course, after getting up, you can no longer play for a while and then go to school." He seemed to be lost. I asked, "Do you remember that time?" "Of course I remember. Later, you moved out to do work, and grandma took care of me." "Grandma treats you well." "I really think grandma treats me well." I smiled, sincerely, such a young child also knows how to distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy, and I really wanted to hug him impulsively, but after all, I was born, and I hesitated for a moment, and I lost the opportunity. He said, "Mom, please don't get married." "why?" "Once my mother gets married, it will be even more difficult for me to see my mother." "Okay," I said, "Mom doesn't marry." I'm willing to be generous, what chance is there of marriage? My appointment with Ping'er has been reduced from three times a week to once every two weeks. Ping'er usually proposes, and then I drop everything to go to the appointment. Lao Zhang said, "You love that child, don't you?" I nod. "Does the foreigner have a chance?" "No." "But he's got a first-rate advertising plan for us, and you've got a way." "He wants to please me, but whether I can accept his please is another matter." "If you really want to get married, you should go out for a walk." "No." "What possibilities are there in the market, you have to investigate." "I don't want to get married again. Women become stupid after ten years of marriage. Isn't it enough to be stupid once? Just out of the misery." It's true. "You should be grateful to God for your grace to make you a human again." I smile wryly. Narrowly escaped death, I believe I was the tenth, and usually the average woman encounters this situation, and there is no body left. "What about your beautiful daughter, if I were Polanski, I would wait for her to grow up and shoot love stories." "Bad intentions." I was taken aback. "When she announces that she has a boyfriend, you will know that you are getting old quickly." I can't help touching my hair, I'm afraid it will turn gray overnight. "Zijun, you are a beautiful woman, don't worry, a beauty is still a beauty when she gets old. At this moment, you are a hundred times stronger than the wandering young woman who got divorced and came to find entertainment and make pottery. You have stood up in just a few years. gone." I sigh. "Thirty-five years old." I said, "Old Zhang, how long do you think I can live?" "Seventy years old, everything is enough at seventy years old. No matter how greedy a person is, he can't say that seventy years old is not a long life." "Even if I live to be seventy, Lao Zhang, the first half of my life is already gone." Lao Zhang was silent. I said angrily: "The first half of my life can be shorthanded in thirty Chinese characters: I got married and had children, was abandoned by my husband, and then struggled to make ends meet." "An angry middle-aged man." Old Zhang said. "Sad and happy middle age." I said. We laughed. "You haven't forgiven Tang Jing yet?" I startled.Really, I didn't intend to pretend to be generous, but I really missed her. After a few days, I specially came to the door with a gift. It was an appointment, and I wasn't an unexpected visitor, but her apartment was a mess. I asked, "Renovation?" "No, move." "Yo, it's not convenient today." "Yes, I wanted to tell you to move today, but I was afraid that you would be paranoid and think it was too coincidental. If you don't believe me, I invite you to witness it." "Are you getting married?" I asked. Tang Jingfei blushed, "Yes." "Where are you moving?" "Move to live with his parents, and then immigrate to Australia after the documents come out." "You want to go?" I was like a bolt from the blue. "yes." "What are you going to do in Australia?" "Be a housewife," she said, busily instructing workers. The small apartment was suddenly emptied. "Come on," she said, "sit down and talk slowly, they will take care of it over there." "You drop everything and go to Australia with him?" "yes." The answer is always simple and affirmative. I was shocked that Tang Jing was going to leave me, and suddenly heartbroken, I stared at her blankly. "What's wrong with you, you should be happy for me." I shed tears, only crying but not speaking. "This woman is not crazy!" Tang Jing smiled, "My husband is getting married, she is not so sad yet." "Stop teasing me," I said. She sighed deeply, "Zijun, your problem is that you will always have someone who supports you. Juansheng left, you caught me, and now I am leaving, you are also sad. Zijun, you have to divide everything. Light or heavy, such consistent innocence, how do people get used to it?" I wiped away my tears, raised my head, and suppressed the grief in my heart. "You forgot about me all of a sudden, you don't need us, you see how independent you are now, you have to keep telling yourself: Zijun, I don't need crutches, Zijun, I don't need them." I said, "You won't understand." "I know you value feelings. It's best that we all stay with you life after life and never leave you." "Yes, I am afraid of change, even for the better." I said, "Shouldn't I be afraid? How many nights have I woke up from nightmares, and the name is still Shi Juansheng?" I burst into tears, "When is it wrong to remember the dead with rich feelings? Maybe I will never live like a chic robot. I don't have this talent." Tang Jing looked into the distance, "That's just because life didn't torture you enough to make you a robot." She said softly, "Zijun, we are going to break up, can we talk about something else? Why do you want to break up?" Don't ask me, am I happy?" I naturally asked: "Are you happy, Tang Jing?" Suddenly she turned her face away, and I knew she was crying too. Friends for many years, I feel sorry for them, we parted like this, I don't know when we will see each other again. Someone broke into the door, it was Mo Jiaqian, his big eyes were piercing, and he asked with a smile, "Why are you crying?" I know that it is impossible to speak my own words anymore. Tang Jing's current identity is Mrs. Mo Jiaqian, her ears are dedicated to listening to him, her heart beats exclusively for him, and every breath is made for him. What can I get? "I wish you happiness forever." My old land said. Mo Jiaqian said, "Thank you." I thought that even if Tang Jing wanted to break up with me, she would spend three days and three nights to tell me her heartfelt love, but I didn't expect that the fate would be over. "Passing by Australia to visit us." Tang Jing said, "I will write to you." that's it. Another most important person in my life has passed away.
