Chapter 32: The Three Laws of Marriage

It turned out that there was a love story behind it, and Fang Shanmu became interested, moved a chair and sat down. Cheng Pengpeng was even more lively, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and became a melon eater.

"I could tell that her English pronunciation was neither American nor British, but Turkish-Australian accent, and for us students studying in Australia, we sometimes laugh at ourselves that Australia is Turkish-Australian. I have lived in Australia for many years, and I naturally have a sense of closeness to Chinese people with Australian accents, so I immediately went over to talk. After chatting, sure enough, as I guessed, she has also been in Australia for many years, and she arrived in Australia in the same year as me, and she is still in Melbourne! We have lived in the same city for more than ten years, and we have never met, but I didn't expect to meet on a cruise ship. ”

Cheng Peng took half of the melon seeds and stopped: "Fate is really wonderful, when you don't come, you won't know each other if you are close." When you come, you can meet thousands of miles away. Thinking about my life and love, it's too ordinary and boring, is this the price and sorrow of being a rich second generation?"

Fang Shanmu glared at her with disdain and warned her not to be too nervous.

"We went back to Australia together and quickly fell in love. I love her very much, her personality is very interesting, simple and direct, but also has a sense of boundaries and proportion. I fell in love with her for a year, only holding hands and kissing, and refusing to go to bed at all! I thought she had studied abroad for many years and must be open-minded. She said that if she just wanted to fall in love with me, she would agree. But if she wants to marry me, she has to be serious. Unless I wanted to marry her too, she wouldn't say yes to anything. ”

"What the hell logic? It feels like I'm perfunctory to you, and you actually believe it? If it were me, I would have turned around and left. Fang Shanmu grinned.

Cheng Peng Peng also said: "The reason is a little strange, as a woman, I don't even feel like I have the face to say such a thing." ”

I believed it, and we got married. Du Tunan glanced at Fang Shanmu, with contempt and sneer in his eyes, "Don't let your own experience affect your life experience, sometimes with more room for imagination, you will find that the world is much wider than you know." ”

"What about after getting married? acquaintance, love, marriage and divorce, life is just that, what is there to imagine?" Fang Shanmu disdainfully argued with Du Tunan, when he was young before, he didn't believe in the so-called experience of people who came over, and slowly experienced more before he found that there is nothing new under the sun, human nature has not grown much throughout the ages, the road that the predecessors have walked, the repetition that the descendants think can be avoided, in fact, most of the time, it is still repeating.

"Mr. Fang should not have read the book of the British science fiction writer Douglas Adams, who proposed the famous three laws of science and technology in the book "Doubtful Salmon", I don't know if Fang always knows?" Du Tunan had a sneering expression, as if he believed that Fang Shanmu was not as knowledgeable and well-informed as him.

Although Fang Shanmu is a science man, he usually doesn't read much, let alone science fiction, but coincidentally, his son Xiang Dong likes to read very much, and there are thousands of books in the bookcase at home, all of which are Xiang Dong's treasures. From humanistic philosophy to astronomy and geography, from world classics to science fiction, there is almost no genre he doesn't like.

Influenced by his son, Fang Shanmu also knew the names of some science fiction writers. The son admires science fiction very much, not only reciting the three laws of robots, but also often talking about the three laws of science and technology.

"One, any technology that was already in place at the time of my birth is part of the ordinary order of the world. Two, any technology that was born between the ages of 15 and 35 is a revolutionary product that will change the world. Third, any technology that is born after the age of 35 is against the laws of nature and will be damned. Fang Shanmu smiled smugly, tried to lean back, there was indescribable pride in his smile, and he deliberately raised his eyebrows at Cheng Pengpeng, "If you extend the interpretation, the three laws of science and technology can correspond to many phenomena in life......

"For example, the three laws of pop: One, most of the pop culture that I was born in was archaic and not worth mentioning. Two, most of the pop culture that was born between my 10s and 30s is a classic that can't be replicated. Three, most of the pop culture that was born after I turned 30 was stupid, superficial, childish, and ridiculous. Fang Shanmu glanced at Du Tu Nan provocatively, "Another example is the three laws of society: First, any suffering that has occurred at the time of my birth is only a part of the inevitable stage of human historical development. Second, any hardship I experienced between the ages of 15 and 35 is an indelible memory and a human tragedy. Three, any suffering that occurs in society after the age of 35 is just a moaning without disease...... Dutunan, do you have anything else to add?"

"I have, I have. Cheng Pengpeng stood up with a smile, with a momentum of pointing out the country, "The three laws of marriage, one, most of the concepts of love and marriage that I already had when I was born are old and old. Second, any view of love and marriage that appeared between the ages of 15 and 35 was the most beautiful and worth remembering. Third, any view of love and marriage that was born after the age of 35 is stupid and superficial and childish and ridiculous. ”

Du Tunan was stunned and smiled: "Understood, received, Mr. Fang has read more than I imagined." ”

"Don't make a fuss, be serious, and go on. Fang Shanmu glared at Cheng Peng with a smile, looked at the time, and said to Du Tunan, "You still have ten minutes, I'll have something to do later." ”

"After we got married, we were very affectionate, and we could say that we had the same ideas and three views, and we could always agree on most issues...... Dutunan continued.

"Huh......" Fang Shanmu couldn't help but laugh again, "The marriage, which can always agree on most issues, finally disintegrates, which shows that most of the problems you encounter are small problems that can be solved by each other, rather than big problems that require the cooperation of two people to solve." Alright, don't kid yourself. ”

Du Tunan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly: "Now I kind of believe that the experience of my predecessors can be used as a reference for life...... Indeed, I have always felt that our marriage is very happy and satisfying, because we both have a well-paid job, we both have our own private space, and we do not interfere with each other's freedom, and our marriage is more like a loose project company than a close-knit joint-stock company, and she and I are not shareholders of the company, but partners who work together on a certain project. Until one day, our contradictions suddenly erupted in a concentrated manner. ”

"I am the only son in the family, and there are three older sisters, in order to have a son, my parents tried all means, the eldest sister was born in Canada, the second sister was born in Hong Kong, the third sister was born in the United States, and I was born in Australia. As the only heir to incense in my family, I have a great mission to pass on my ancestry. In the second year of marriage, the family urged to have children. I consulted with her, and she said to wait another year. When she talked about it again a year later, she still refused. The family was anxious, hoping that she could give an accurate time, and she said the truth under my questioning......"

"She doesn't like children, she doesn't plan to have children, she wants us Dink. I was stupid, I didn't tell me not to have children before I got married, and I said only when I got married, isn't this a cheat? I discussed with her how to solve the problem, and with my family situation, it is definitely not okay not to have children. I proposed three solutions, one is IVF, the second is surrogacy, and the third is adoption. As a result, she refused all, saying that not only did she not want to have children, but she also didn't want to raise or take care of children, and she didn't even want to see children at home, even if she was raised and let the nanny take them!"

"I don't know if she was hurt or had any psychological problems, but her resolute attitude made me very distressed. To be honest, I don't really like children myself, but for the sake of my parents, they have done a lot for me, and I should also fulfill their dream of having grandchildren. Well, I can also understand that she is strong and independent on the surface, but in fact, deep down, she has always treated herself as a child and has not played enough. She often travels the world, alone, alone. I also thought, who wants to bear the burden of society and family and not live a free life? But when people live in the world, they are not an independent individual, and there are pressures and constraints in all aspects. ”

"And I am different from her in that since I am the only son in the family, I have to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the incense for the Du family, who made my parents and sisters pay so much for me today? In order to make her feel at ease and change her mind, under my persuasion, she returned to China with me and gave up her job abroad. I made use of the resources in Australia and set up a consulting company after I arrived in Beijing, undertaking Australian immigration, studying abroad, holding art exhibitions and various cultural exchange projects, and the business was very good. Because she has been abroad, after coming back, she felt that the country was very advanced and novel, so she left the company and me and went out to travel in China alone for a year and a half. ”

"I thought she had had enough fun and it was time to take care of it, and offered to have a child again, but she still refused. She is 32 years old, and she will be an advanced maternal age in a few years, and the phone call from her parents is almost every other day. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I told her that I was willing to give up my career to stay at home with her, as long as she was willing to agree to have children. She agreed, and after returning from Guilin, she was preparing for pregnancy at home. I took the initiative to close the company, and accompanied her at home every day, who knew why she changed her hexagram again, saying that she had read a lot of reports, not to mention that women have a certain chance of death when they give birth, and they will become old and ugly, so that the body is deformed, and she will not give birth. ”

"I ......" Du Tunan smiled bitterly, rubbed his face vigorously, and tried to calm himself down, although the matter has passed, but when he mentions it again, he can't help but be excited, "I don't know how to describe my feelings, in order to let her have a child, I gave up Australia where I had lived for more than ten years and returned to China to start a business." Still in order for her to have children, I closed the company that was very profitable, and worked as a full-time husband at home to accompany her. Everything was ready, and it was up to her to go to heaven, but she said she still wanted to go to heaven, and I ......"
