Chapter 11: Seeking Peace
On Friday night, Zhang Xiaoxiao got off work early to pick up her son and go home. Out of guilt for not picking up her kids last week, she bought two toys and a lot of snacks. When his son saw these unexpected surprises, he hugged Zhang Xiaoxiao and kissed him vigorously. Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled with sourness: children are all innocent, and it is too much for me to hold a grudge against my children.
On Saturday night, Zhang Xiaoxiao was washing dishes, heard the doorbell ringing, and was about to open the door, when he saw that his son, who was watching TV in the living room, had rushed over to open the door, and then heard his son shouting: "Dad, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, looking at the door in disbelief, sure enough, it was Feng Sen who came in, looking at each other, Zhang Xiaoxiao was surprised and happy in her heart, but she turned around and continued to wash the dishes as if nothing happened, but her ears were pricked up to listen to the greetings of the two of them.
After washing the dishes, Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned against the kitchen door and watched the two men in the living room hugging each other to watch TV, this kind of warm scene I haven't seen for a long time. She turned back into the kitchen, tears welled up in her eyes, she wiped her eyes, opened the refrigerator door, took a few fruits, cut them, handed them to the living room coffee table, and sat down to watch TV together.
There are funny variety shows on TV, and my son is influenced by himself and likes to watch these things, but Feng Sen always thinks she is low-level and biased towards children. She believes that Zhang Chi has a way, these variety shows are indeed not nutritious, but watching it can relax her mood. For children, learning knowledge is necessary, but watching some funny things is relaxing, which is also essential, and Feng Sen always asks children to take the tall route, he has a lot of ideas, such as letting children learn English, learning piano, and Zhang Xiaoxiao after communicating with colleagues and classmates around him, hoping that children can choose some more practical interest classes such as pinyin, writing, basketball, etc., Feng Sen's requirements can not be realized without her support, he also vowed to take his children to learn, but he is always dragged by various reasons can not be implemented. She always laughed at him for being a giant in words and a dwarf in action. In fact, there is no difference in core values between them, the difference is these trivial things, but these things are enough to break the marriage.
In today's variety show, she kept wandering, and her laughter was numb. Feng Sen's laughter couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and when the child laughed, he would look at his son and laugh along. Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know why he came today, no matter why, she was still pleasantly surprised, and it could be said that she was looking forward to it. Occasionally looked at him and found that he had never looked at herself, and she felt slightly lost. Just held on until the end of the show, Feng Sen looked at his phone and asked his son to go to bed first. Xiaoxiao led her son to wash up and took her son to the room to sleep. After calming down his son, Zhang Xiaoxiao covered the door and went out.
Feng Sen was still sitting on the sofa, and Xiaoxiao also walked over and sat down. Feng Sen smiled and sat down in front of her, hugged her and said, "Look at you, leaving me, you're a lot haggard." Xiaoxiao broke free of his arm, Feng Sen hugged her again, the warmth of his embrace, the smell of his body, so familiar, she stopped struggling.
"Let's talk about us!"
"What is there to talk about?"
"Look at you recently, I can also feel that you are still nostalgic for your children and this family. I sensed it when I walked in the door, and you were still expecting me to come. ”
Xiaoxiao was silent, he was right, he was powerless to refute, he could only snort to express his disbence. Feng Sen lifted her leg up, put it on his own, and hugged her tightly. She couldn't help but laugh happily. Seeing her smile, Feng Sen was even more confident.
"I thought about it, what about you, I'm still quite satisfied, even if I look for it again, you are still my first choice. I don't have any high requirements for my wife, only two requirements, first, be good to my son, you are my son's mother, no one to find, it's not as good as you, right? That's what you're sure to do. Second, you have room for improvement if you can live in harmony with my family......"
Before Feng Sen finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao waved her hand excitedly, and tears poured into her eyes again: "Feng Sen, you haven't figured out why I divorced you, right, you still have a request for me, let me tell you, even if I remarry you, I can only do your first request, as for your family, I can use it as air, but you want me to take the initiative to integrate into your family, I can't do it, when we divorced, your mother and your sister pushed you and me to compete for the family property, I can't forget!" I'm just a character like this, and I don't like to pretend I don't like it. ”
"My sister is also for my good, to the point where it gets to that point, isn't it normal to fight for family property?"
"How is it normal, why is no one in my family to ask me to fight for the family property, they are all one to persuade me to live with you well, no one thinks about the family property, and your sister, who was bullied by herself in her in-law's house and didn't let out a fart, how did she come to me and become wise and brave?"
Feng Sen was powerless to refute, and retreated as advance: "Put aside the affairs of my family, can't you just talk about the two of us?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao calmed down her emotions, yes, she had a good game today, and she couldn't mess up by her own temperament anymore, during these days, she obviously felt the changes in her son, became cautious, and learned to please her, which made her feel particularly distressed. Not for yourself, for the sake of your son, you should think about it and save the family.
"Okay, let's talk about the two of us, I'll divorce you, I'll be honest with you now, divorce is not my goal, my purpose is to make you change. ”
"Okay, what do you want me to change, I'll try to do it!"
"1. Care more about my son, care more about me, and participate more in family activities. 2. Don't criticize my way of life, including the way I educate my son, if you think it's inappropriate, you can come yourself, but you can't not participate in it yourself, and talk nonsense. Third, learn to enjoy life, work is to live better, don't put the cart before the horse, our life should have more entertainment activities, even if we go out to eat and watch movies, yes, eat at home, you can also watch movies on the computer, but life needs a sense of ritual, you know? Fourth, care for your own health, you think you can resist it, but I am not willing to take this risk, because your health is related to my future life and my son. ”
"What you say makes sense, and I'll do my best. ”
"What do you mean by trying to do it, you always said it before. But which time did you do it?"
"Do you know how much I can get this year-end bonus, nearly 20,000 more than the same level, which is not a reward. Why don't I want to accompany you and my son, the key is not that I am busy with work!"
"It's not that I don't let you work, I work hard in the unit, but I don't think you can figure out the importance of work and family, most of the time you put work first, that's no problem, I support you. But sometimes, for example, when a child is sick, or a family member has a birthday, and so on, you have to put a break from work, right? You say do everything you can, but I don't feel that you try your best! I'm disheartened when I hear you say try your best. What I want to hear from you now is two words!"
Feng Sen was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "There must be two words, I really can't say it now, I say it now, and you will say that I am a liar in the future, so that you can think about it in the past two days, give me an answer, and the matter with my family, you should also think about it." ”
Xiaoxiao burst into tears, turned her head and waved her hand: "If you do this, let's not talk about it." ”
Feng Sen smiled awkwardly: "I've also worked hard, you better think about it, don't we grieve ourselves for ourselves and for our children?"
Xiaoxiao sobbed and said: "I divorced to change you, listen to your tone, I have to bow my head and compromise with you in order to remarry, I don't steal chickens and rice, my brain is broken, right?" ”
Feng Sen stood up: "It's not early, I'll go back first, you think about it, think about it and give me an answer." ”
After the door closed, Zhang Xiaoxiao cried and smiled, leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and let the tears flow.
When he was in love, he found that his work and family were not clear, and the young couple met once every two or three months, and this state made Zhang Xiaoxiao very anxious. For this reason, there were many quarrels, but at that time, I didn't know that this matter would have such a big impact on married life. When she first mentioned divorce, the two were newly married, and Feng Sen was still working in the field. During the Spring Festival of that year, he dragged his suitcase home, saying that he would never go again after the New Year, but after the New Year, he secretly dragged his suitcase and ran away. Zhang Xiaoxiao suspected that he had someone outside, but after inquiring, he found that there was no such thing at all, and he was immediately stunned by this strange thing: he was so persistent for a job with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan, and he didn't know what kind of brain circuit it was.
Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to have a child as soon as possible, but after thinking twice, she still had to get Feng Sen back first. So, she gave him an ultimatum: either divorce or come back. Fortunately, Feng Sen came back in the end, although when he first came back to look for a job, he complained about her a lot, but after all, he came back, and she was very pleased. After that, she successfully got pregnant and gave birth to a child, and the two did have a sweet time. After he came back, the development was actually okay, the salary was not lower than that of the big city, it was close to home, the pace of work in the unit in the past few years was not very fast, and Feng Sen had not made any mistakes in his work. Later, after changing to a busier unit, it was completely exposed.
Zhang Xiaoxiao is not ignorant, nor does she not support his work, the key is that the boundary between serious work and evading family responsibilities is not clear enough, and she can't tell whether he is really busy, but she feels that his mind is not at home at all, and it is rare to return home early, or listless. No matter how busy you are, you have to have a priority, and you can't just ignore your family.
Zhang Xiaoxiao saw this point thoroughly in her male colleagues, some male colleagues went out to eat when they could go out to eat after work, and watched movies in the unit without a meal, saying that it was too annoying to go back to take care of the children, and there were not a few of these people. There is an even more excessive, the child is not yet a full moon, the wife is at home with two children, and he watches a movie in the unit and goes home in the middle of the night. Seeing these people, and listening to Feng Sen's excuses, Zhang Xiaoxiao naturally distrusts ten thousand.
After Feng Sen left, Zhang Xiaoxiao impulsively wanted to send a text message to Feng Sen to theorize about his grievances over the years. But looking back on the past, there have been many theories and no results, so why make an excuse to quarrel again?
