Liang Zhen wanted to go back to NY to study, Zhong Yu was the first to know, and the second was Ding Lijun.

At that time, he also happened to finish a construction site, so he proposed to have a meal together before Liang Zhen left.

The two made an appointment for a time and place, and Doudou also brought it with them.

When Liang Zhen arrived there, Ding Lijun had already arrived, sitting in the box and waiting for them.

"Uncle Ding!" the little guy shouted at Ding Lijun as he entered.

Ding Lijun got up and came over to pick him up and spun around, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while." ”

Liang Zhen smiled: "I'm almost a primary school student, and my height has grown, can I not sink?"

Ding Lijun put Doudou on the ground and touched his head: "Also, the first time I saw you, you were still in your mother's arms, and you were going to study in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast!"

He scolded with emotion.

Liang Zhen was speechless, "Can you stop swearing in front of the child?"

"Okay, don't say it, don't say it! Come on, let's see what good things Uncle Ding bought you!"

He turned around and pulled out several large paper bags from behind the desk, which they opened in the same way, school bags, stationery, sneakers, and a set of Lego toys.

Doudou was crazy, especially when he saw the Lego cartons, the whole person was lying on the box and screaming.

"How did you buy him so many things?" asked Liang Zhen.

Ding Lijun wiped his breath, "Isn't the child going to school, according to what your hometown says, the child's uncle has to buy shoes and schoolbags when he goes to school, and I think that his uncle is gone, I have to do it for the child, right?"

Ding Lijun said as he unwrapped the Lego package for Doudou.

Doudou couldn't be happier.

Ding Lijun took out the sneakers and put them on for him, "Hey, my eyes are quite accurate, the size is just right!"

Liang Zhen watched this scene from the side, and a certain emotion slowly flooded in his heart.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, except for the toy that is a little more expensive, it's not anything of value, it's not as good as what Doudou is wearing now, you just don't like it." ”

Liang Zhen: "......"

It wasn't until dinner that the two talked about the whole topic.

"Why do you suddenly want to go abroad to study?" asked Ding Lijun.

Liang Zhen: "It's not sudden, it was a temporary decision to return to China before, and I only applied for a one-year leave of absence." ”

Ding Lijun: "Yes, I estimate that you will have to finish your studies sooner or later, after all, it has been your dream for so many years, but can you do it with this body?"

Liang Zhen: "I asked the doctor before, and the doctor said that if it is properly arranged and adjusted, it is not a big problem. ”

Ding Lijun: "What do you say about the person surnamed Zhong?"

"Zhong Yu?" Liang Zhen lowered his head and smiled, "What can he say!"

Ding Lijun: "No objection?"

Liang Zhen: "I didn't object, but I didn't feel happy, and I've been angry with me recently." ”

Ding Lijun snorted, "It's normal for him to be angry, you said that your injury is just right, your son is going to school again, you want to run outside without saying a word, and I am not happy to change me." ”

Liang Zhen: "......"

Ding Lijun: "But, think about it from your standpoint, it's not easy for you to survive alone for so many years, you gave up going to college for the sake of raw Doudou, and now that you have the opportunity, you have to think about yourself." ”

Liang Zhen didn't answer, lowered his head and swallowed silently.

Ding Lijun: "What's the matter, the two quarreled about this again?"

Liang Zhen: "It's not noisy. ”

Ding Lijun: "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Liang Zhen shook his head: "I don't have any plans." ”

Ding Lijun: "Before you leave, you have to negotiate the conditions with him, such as asking him to wait for you for a few years, or simply resuming the marriage before leaving!"

Liang Zhen was surprised, "Why do you want to remarry and leave!"

Ding Lijun: "Just in case someone takes advantage of it when you're not there." ”

Liang Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Not really." ”

Ding Lijun was arrogant, "You won't be so simple as to really think that a normal man can endure it for several years in a row, what if you say that he has a need?" Take a plane for more than ten hours to fly to that bird country to find you to sleep for one night, and then fly back the next day, or will he find another one in China to satisfy himself?"

Liang Zhen: "......"

Ding Lijun: "Or in other words, even if he doesn't go out to look for it, but with his conditions, it is estimated that many women will take the initiative to pounce without moving his fingers, and when the time comes, do you think, he can resist once, twice, and a hundred times?"

Ding Lijun said bitterly, Liang Zhen lowered his head and smiled, "I understand and think about what you said, but ......"

"But what? He doesn't agree to remarry you?"

"It's not. Liang Zhen shook his head and touched his somewhat cold face with his hand, "No matter when, he doesn't belong to me, nor does he belong to any woman, he only belongs to himself, and I'm the same, we are two independent individuals, do you understand?"

Ding Lijun frowned, tried to think about it, and finally shook his head, "I don't understand!"

How could he understand, such an esoteric thing.

Liang Zhen smiled again, "Let me ask you this, if I ask him for a promise, or if we go to get a certificate, do you think this will completely prevent him from not looking for other women in China in the past few years?"

"This ......," Ding Lijun bared his teeth, "... You should also know the sex of men's urine, sometimes this thing is out of your control, right?"

"So you mean that even if he gets the certificate, he may not be able to keep himself like a jade, right?"

“...... Almost, that means. ”

"So why bother to get a certificate to block yourself?"

Liang Zhen supported his forehead with his hand and explained to Ding Lijun, "I am actually not a generous person, once I get the certificate and remarry, I will have requirements and expectations for him, if I hear a little wind and grass in the past few years of studying abroad, even if it is a scandal, I will be sad, and then I can't rub the sand in my eyes, come back and leave him again?"

The last time she divorced, she felt as if she had peeled off a layer of skin on herself, and she didn't want to do it again.

"Yes, that's what I said, but if you don't remarry him, won't you be sad if he goes out to steal?"

"It's going to be sad, but it's not the same as the sadness after getting married. ”

"What's the difference?"

Liang Zhen turned his eyes to look at Doudou, the little thing was kneeling on the stool with his ass pouting and playing Lego, and his expression of concentration and seriousness was exactly the same as Zhong Yu's.

"If we don't remarry, he goes out to find other women, I may be able to convince myself to forgive him, but once we get the certificate, we have the obligation to protect the marriage between each other, if he can't hold back and go out to steal in the past few years, it will be a betrayal to me. ”

The former Liang Zhen can still convince himself that he is just following his original intentions and instincts, he is free and understandable, but if the two get married, Zhong Yu will be cheating if he goes out to find someone again.

The meaning between the two is completely different.

"I went to NY this time, and it will take about three years to complete the course, three years is not long, and it is not short, I don't want to tie him up with marriage, and I don't want to use marriage to give myself a dream that may be shattered at any time. ”

"So you still don't believe that the person surnamed Zhong can wait for you for three years?"

"It's not that I don't believe him, I don't believe in reality. ”

The two are thousands of miles apart, day and night are reversed, one is busy with work and the other is busy with study.

Tens of thousands of days and nights, Liang Zhen felt that there should be no emotion that could resist such consumption.

"What's more, what qualifications do I have to make him wait for me for three years?" Liang Zhen lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"So you're going to NY with the determination to break up with him?"

She still shook her head, "No, I don't force him to wait for me, and I won't give up unilaterally, but I will be ready for him to leave me at any time, after all, for ten thousand days and nights, no one knows what will happen, but ......"

"But what?"

She originally wanted to say that if Zhong Yu finally found someone else and she had to leave him, she thought she would still be very sad, but if it really came to this day, it didn't matter if she was sad or not, what mattered was the ending between them.

"Forget it, what you gain and what you lose is always proportional, and I can't be too greedy. She smiled self-deprecatingly and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, "Don't make me think about what might happen in the future, eat!"

The day after meeting Ding Lijun, Liang Zhen went to see Chen Zhilan again.

She deliberately picked a morning and found the breakfast stall set up by Chen Zhilan at the entrance of the community.

"Let's have a bowl of ravioli!"

She used to order something to eat like other guests, it was the morning rush hour at work, and there were quite a few guests around the front of the stall, Chen Zhilan was so busy that she didn't have time to raise her head, and asked inertly: "Three fresh or cabbage filling?"

"Three fresh, how much is a bowl?"

"Eight yuan, do you want to add ......" Chen Zhilan only looked up when she said that, and when she saw Liang Zhen standing in front of the dining car, she was stunned on the spot, and she didn't come back to her senses until another guest finished eating and came to settle the bill.

Chen Zhilan chuckled and collected the money before calming her emotions, "Three fresh wontons, you go and sit over there first, and I'll make it for you right away." ”

She skillfully poured the wontons into the pot and made the soup, and within two minutes, the hot wontons were served on the table.

"Would you like to put some green onions on you?"

"No, I don't. ”

"Then you eat first, and if you don't have enough to eat, I'll add it to you, so what's ......?"

In front of the stall, another customer shouted to settle the bill, "What, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll come to you when I'm done." ”

Chen Zhilan set up a few plastic tables and chairs in the open space two or three meters away from the dining car, and Liang Zhen watched her check out, make soup, accompany a smiling face, and busily shuttle through the crowd of the morning market in an old shirt while eating three fresh wontons.

Liang Zhen picked up the bowl and ate the wontons in the bowl with soup and water.

Chen Zhilan was settling the bill with the last guest at the table at the other end, and Liang Zhen took out the money from her bag and put it in the cabinet with miscellaneous items under her dining car.

"The wonton money is in it, you look back. She shouted at Chen Zhilan lightly.

Chen Zhilan replied: "What kind of money is not money, what do you pay for eating wontons at your mother's place, hurry up and take it back." After speaking, she didn't care about Liang Zhen, and cleaned up the dirty bowls and chopsticks left by the guests on the table a few times, and when she turned around to go to Liang Zhen, she found that there was no one long ago.

"Hey, this kid!"

She patted her apron over her body, thinking about calling her when she was free.

It was spent until nine o'clock when the stall was closed.

Chen Zhilan tied all the tables, chairs and stools to the car, and was about to pull the car back, when she suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and opened the cabinet door below.

There were disposable packing boxes, paper towels and other sundries piled inside, and one of Liang Zhen's cowhide file bags rested on top of this pile of sundries.

Chen Zhilan took out the file bag and opened it, and the twenty stacks of coins with human names inside were neatly coded.
