The box is small but spacious, with floor-to-ceiling glass reflecting the hustle and bustle of the street. Through the glass, Su Chunyan saw the river water walking down the "taxi". Jiang Heshui also saw her quickly.

Jiang Heshui sat down opposite Su Chunyan, and lit a cigarette as if nothing had happened. Su Chunyan was a little cramped, and the smile on her face was not far-fetched. Neither of them spoke, but just looked at each other, as if they were strangers.

Jiang Heshui mischievously sprayed a puff of smoke, which was a start. He looked at the empty table, "You don't consume at all, I'll see how you get out of this door later?"

Su Chunyan smiled, as beautiful as ever, "Where do you pay?"

"My pockets are cleaner than your face. "When the river is level, I don't carry money in my pocket, and the big front door in my hand has always been a luxury.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Moutai, Wuliangye is also fine. ”

Su Chunyan knew that he was talking nonsense, so she glared at him and turned her face to the side. It's a pity that the two of them have always come over like this, and they can't find any of the cruel words they prepared in advance.

The waiter brought up half a smoked chicken, a plate of "three fresh" and a bottle of hardcover two-pot head. It turned out that Su Chunyan had already ordered the wine and food.

The river filled two cups, "Wife, I know you're quite aggrieved these days." Let's have a whole glass first. He likes to do it first as respect, "Actually, I know what you want and what you want to say." It's better not to say anything. ”

"Don't say anything? I called you here just to drink? No, you can't talk about anything about this meal in vain. Su Chunyan's tone soothed, "However, the two of us have something to say first: no matter what we say today, no one can get angry, okay?"

"Okay, let's talk. Jiang Heshui looked at her, and he didn't care.

Su Chunyan picked up the cup and drank it all, "Heshui, let's send the child away, according to Director Lin's wishes, send her to the welfare home." If you can't bear it, I'll send it. ”

"Isn't it all the same? Jiang Heshui was not surprised by her words at all, but the incident itself was a little heavier in his heart.

"Don't worry. Su Chunyan took advantage of the situation, "I heard that the welfare home is good, and even what you eat is prepared according to the nutritional needs of children." It can be said that there is nothing missing. ”

"Is there a father or a mother there?" Jiang Heshui seemed to say his lines and rehearsed them beforehand.

Su Chunyan glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "What can you do if you have a father and a mother?

"Yes, you're absolutely right. "This is the first time that the child has been abandoned, which is already a great misfortune, and if we send the child away again, it will be the second time the child has been abandoned." You are my wife, is there any difference between what you do and what I do?"

"NMD! I don't know what to do. Su Chunyan was arrogant and was angered by him.

"Oh, you can't get angry, that's what you said. Jiang Heshui said, and actually laughed out loud.

Su Chunyan held back her emotions. She knew that the two would never reach an agreement on this matter, so she said solemnly: "Let's make it clear, my consciousness is not as high as yours, I only know that no one can eat enough if a steamed bun is broken in half." Now you have to choose between this home and the child. Remember, you can't have it both ways. With that, she took out the divorce agreement from her handbag and pressed it on the countertop in front of him.

Jiang Heshui put it back on the table after reading the agreement, and didn't seem to take it seriously. "That's what you wrote in one afternoon? The reason is simple, isn't it? It's too rash to divorce a person who doesn't agree with each other? ”

Su Chunyan sneered and was quite confident, "You don't care about this, as long as you sign it." After speaking, he put a pen prepared in advance on the agreement.

Jiang Heshui was silent, she knew that she had already done a good job, but after all, this was something he didn't want to happen.

"What are you hesitating about?" Su Chunyan pressed reluctantly, "Today you sign the letter, and we will part ways, otherwise we will send the child away - let us continue here and continue to drink." ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, "You know that I can't do it, so why bother with each other? ”

"Is it one? That's a rake. Su Chunyan saw that he didn't squeak, "Actually, we are already very good, it is easy to finish college for those two children in the mountains? You are so continuous, can that woman bear it? You think about it and see if I am right?"

Jiang Heshui was really completely speechless, because the words of the woman in front of her just now can be described as classics, and in comparison, she has done a very good job. His head drooped slightly, completely involuntarily, and his face gradually turned cold, and two lines of hot tears actually flowed down his cheeks.

This scene really surprised Su Chunyan, and he had never been so sad in his memory. Momentary thoughts: Are you too ruthless? "I'm not trying to force you. She said, a little bit but raw.

Jiang Shui suddenly raised his head, suddenly turned sad to joy, and wiped away tears with a tissue. "You're right, you've done a good job and haven't pushed me. I just remembered a man who said to me, "This agreement can be signed." After speaking, he picked up the pen and signed like a cloud of peers.

Su Chunyan indifferently took the agreement, and felt inexplicably apprehensive in her heart. He remembered someone? Who could this person be? He just guessed and didn't ask.

The river water calmed down completely, and he raised his wine glass, "Come, our fate can be exhausted, but we have to continue to drink this wine." After saying that, he drank it all. He often thinks that only wine is the most loyal friend in this world, and it is blindly enthusiastic, and never knows what betrayal is.

Su Chunyan didn't drink, stared at him for a long time before saying, "It's not for your son, I decided to send him to study abroad, and the formalities have been completed." ”

Jiang Heshui didn't seem to understand, "The child went to his grandmother's place, and it was also your deliberate arrangement?" he replied. Su Chunyan's maiden home is in Jinzhou and moved there ten years ago.

"That's right. I don't want my child to know about the two of us, at least while he's studying abroad. ”

Jiang Heshui is not worried about this, "But this needs a lot of money?"

"So I really can't bear this pressure. Su Chunyan seemed to have forgotten the agreement.

"It may be easy to send Xiao Sui away, but it is undoubtedly a collapse of faith and a loss of faith for me. Isn't it?"

The two stared at each other. Su Chunyan suddenly snorted with disdain, "Enough." No one believes you now, Hiccup. ”

Jiang Heshui smiled bitterly, and after a while: "Actually, as long as Huaijun is a piece of material, he can become a talent anywhere." I'm worried, where are you going to pay for Huaijun's expenses?" His worry about this woman suddenly became more and more terrifying. According to Director Lin's words two months ago, he concluded at this time that the individual senior executives in the group who were suspected of serious violations of discipline were the people closest to her. Since it involved organizational secrets, he could only think so.

Su Chunyan did not show the slightest abnormality, and said: "Let's go out together, don't think that you will be fine if you divorce?" I wrote clearly on the agreement, you must pay 1,000 yuan per month for the child support, not a penny. ”

Jiang Heshui silently calculated an account: his pension is less than 3,000 yuan in total, and minus 3,000 yuan is a negative number. "Damn, let you toss like this, Lao Tzu doesn't even have the money to drink porridge. ”

"Then what are you worried about? Isn't our lump here rich in the northwest wind? Su Chunyan's extreme ridicule inadvertently promoted another implicit slow way of thinking about the river.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Don't worry, it's a big deal that I'll stop funding those two children and find a way to do something else, isn't it?" If she really divorced herself for the sake of a few children, then she should be overjoyed by now.

Su Chunyan seemed to have been shot, a little dumbfounded, her eyes twitching up and down, obviously making a brain teaser. "I don't believe it. Unless the tide rises and the boat sinks, all that floats on the surface of the water is scales. What kind of virtue you are, I don't know yet. Every word she said was a pair of hands, completely choking his death hole.

Jiang Heshui's judgment of himself from his woman's look and gaze has been effectively verified: there must be an irreversible main reason for her divorce. He didn't dare to think deeply, but he reluctantly remembered what Xiao Linzi said on the day of Xiao Suiyuan's full moon: Ninety-five percent of corrupt officials take care of their mistresses. Can she be one of the remaining five percent? But Xiao Linzi clearly said that this number is still an incomplete count. Oh my God, this team is huge. In this world, how many women should be doing that kind of thing that makes their husbands creepy and painful?

Su Chunyan straightened her hair and looked at him: "Are you stupid?

Jiang Heshui shook his head, "I'm thinking too much." Okay, let's not say anything, let it be. He also felt that he was a little too narrow-minded, and those unfounded associations were too absurd, and decided not to use the same method of dealing with corrupt officials on his own women.

Su Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief, glared at him, and said nothing.

Before I knew it, nine o'clock had passed, and people under the orange street lamps outside the window were walking leisurely...... "It's not early, it's time to go back." Jiang Heshui stood up, patted his hands in his pockets, and signaled that he didn't bring any money, "I'll go back and think about it on the road." Don't forget to pack. He pointed to what was left on the table, and with that, he walked out the door.

Su Chunyan looked through the glass and watched the river water on the sidewalk across the road, and breathed a sigh of relief thoughtfully.

The river water is particularly conspicuous under the street lamps, swaying and shaking. What has happened or is about to happen is a great challenge for him. A man is either a strong man or a coward in life, and the demeanor of a strong man is tolerance and generosity. There is no upper limit to generosity, and once the bottom line is crossed, it will fall into the abyss of shame. Jiang Heshui suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable when he thought of this. But he didn't expect that her arm was held by a soft hand at this time.

It was Su Chunyan who came up from behind.

"It's so late, why don't you take a taxi?"

"What's the matter, you don't want me to accompany you like this for a while?" Su Chunyan changed her style, and she was very considerate and gentle.

"You're not afraid of dropping the price and leaving, it's time to end anyway. ”

Su Chunyan twisted his arm slightly, and after walking silently for a while, he said, "You remembered a person just now, who is he?"

Of course, Jiang Heshui knew what she wanted, "I really want to know?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Jiang Heshui said an old story that made many young people sneer and even insensitive:

In July 1979, on the eve of the war, all the soldiers wrote an impassioned petition to join the war. At that time, Jiang Heshui had only been in the army for less than a year, and he was a new recruit. The squad leader saw that others were clever and had a lot of ideas, so he tried his best to recommend them to the company. In this way, he went to the front with the squad leader.

If you can't just write the battle letter, you have to read it out in public in the company. There are so many war petitions, almost all of them are the same, and they are all indispensable for such bold words as winning glory for the country, bravely killing the enemy, serving the country loyally, and then dying, and so on, and only the squad leader concluded with "to be a people's soldier with great wisdom and courage."

Afterwards, Jiang Heshui felt that the old squad leader's last sentence was not good and a little off, and secretly made fun of him for being uneducated.

The squad leader patted him on the back of the head, "You recruit knows how to fart! What is great wisdom? Great wisdom is willing to give up for the sake of the people; what is great courage? Great courage is to sacrifice one's life for the sake of the country." ”

He is 1.8 meters tall, tall and mighty in the eyes of Jiang Heshui.

The old squad leader really sacrificed his life, and there are thousands of young fighters like him. Jiang Heshui survived in the arms of the old squad leader, and he often felt deeply remorseful and even ashamed for this, and unswervingly chewed on the words of the old squad leader before his death.

"The old squad leader sacrificed to cover me. When I think of him, what else can't I do?" Jiang Heshui glanced at Su Chunyan, who was silent.

Su Chunyan also glanced at him, "I didn't say anything wrong with what you did, but it was a bit too much." You can't be like this all your life, can you? Look at people, those days are getting better and better day by day, but what about us? The more we go, the more we loosen, it's too abnormal. ”

"What is normal? What is abnormal?" Jiang Heshui sighed, "If you always compare with each other, you will never be satisfied, and if you compare with the next, you will feel that you are already in heaven." ”

Su Chunyan didn't like to hear this, "When is it? I think you're just an illusion, and you don't see the changes of the times at all. ”

"You are also a party member and a state cadre. Jiang He was impatient, and suddenly felt that the woman next to him had actually drifted away from him. "Okay, let's not talk about that. He changed the subject, "It seems that divorce is not a bad thing for both of us, and it is better to take what you need than anything else." It's a pity that I thought the child had a home, but now it's pulled down again. However, it is not bad for the child to have a grandfather and grandmother, and the second elder is not bad for her. When I was a child, my dad and my mom were better to Sister Kobayashi than to any of us. ”

"This time it's different, the second elder even has to raise you together. Su Chunyan was not joking, nor was she sarcastic.

Jiang Heshui snorted, "No matter how bad I am, I can support myself even if I pick up garbage." ”

"Isn't it too embarrassing to say that?"

"What's the point of making money and eating with your own hands?" replied Jiang Heshui with a vow.

A willow leaf fell on the face of the river, and he grasped it with his hand with agility, and suddenly felt that autumn was coming.

It was nearly ten o'clock when I got home. I don't know when, the old couple has taken Xiao Suiyuan away. As soon as Jiang Heshui closed the door, Su Chunyan hugged him tightly from behind, refusing to let go for a long time.

In the dark, the two were silent and heard each other.

"I'll leave tomorrow, don't let me leave naked. "Jiang Heshui broke the silence, "This month, I thought about having the child's surgery done, and I was afraid that it would not be good if it dragged on." ”

"How much?"

"What about 10,000?"

"Not much. I've got 20,000 for you, and it's in the drawer outside. Su Chunyan let go of her hand, "Don't say anything." ”

Jiang Heshui didn't make a sound, but he was worried again.

......

The window began to whiten, and everything inside the room seemed hazy and unfamiliar. He looked at Su Chunyan who was sleeping, suddenly remembered something, and at the same time decided to leave here immediately. He crept into Little Suiyuan's room, which had previously been an authentic storage room. When he turned on the light, he was stunned and didn't know what to do. The weather has not yet cooled, and many objects can be pounded slowly. Thinking of this, he first stuffed Xiao Suiyuan's current supplies into a plastic bag, and then turned out a grass-green military satchel, and gently put the military medal and things that he thought could never be discarded. I walked to the living room again, opened a drawer, and the 20,000 yuan and a brown paper envelope brought by Xiao Suiyuan stood out. He first stuffed the envelope into his satchel, looked at the two dozen hundred-dollar bills and hesitated, and finally took only a dozen and stuffed it into the satchel.

Jiang Heshui walked gently to the door, and subconsciously looked at the closed door of the bedroom, as if he was a little reluctant.

The door inevitably made a "bang" sound, and Su Chunyan was awakened. She walked to the living room, where she stood quietly, and then pushed open the door of Xiao Suiyuan. When she saw that Xiao Suiyuan's clothes were gone, her whole inner world suddenly became chaotic. dragged her weak legs to the living room, opened the drawer and looked, and the dozen hundred-dollar bills that greeted her made her feel even more mixed - unprecedented loss and sourness...... The corners of his mouth began to twitch, and tears rolled down.
