Chapter 17: Never Take It Home
Therefore, for women, cherishing and grasping the happiness in front of them is the most important thing to do. Instead of taking risks and experimenting, the corresponding costs will far outweigh the benefits.
After Sheng Chen worked, after contacting many girls in the 80s and 90s, he found that the women of the 70s are basically a more traditional and gentle generation, and they still abide by their loyalty to the family, tolerance of marriage and attachment to their husbands. The 80s and 90s are completely different, they are independent, strong, and more bold and self-conscious, dare to pursue happiness, do not give in, never be passive in love or submissive in marriage.
In the current divorce incidents, more than 70% of them are proposed by women, which shows the awakening of women's sense of sovereignty and the rise of independent spirit.
For the flying personality of the 90s women, Sheng Chen and Jiangbian are envious, but they will not learn to emulate, because their brightest and most youthful era is not now, but 20 years ago, they no longer have enough age capital to do whatever they want.
What makes Sheng Chen and Jiangbian feel even more annoying is that when they were young, they never had the idea of grabbing the 50th men, but now the 90th girls are going to grab their 70th men, which shows that the times are indeed different from before, and women's pursuit of independent and free personality has also made their choice of mates too relaxed in terms of age group.
Sheng Chen also told Jiangbian a few times that if they forced Fang Shanmu and Gu Hao too tightly, they would really want to divorce, and in the remarriage market, they were far less than they had a choice. Jiangbian swore that he should not be afraid, men are all talking about it, and if they really want to divorce, they will not dare easily. A 40-year-old man has experienced everything he should have experienced, unless the original partner has to be unforgiving, under normal circumstances, men are still unwilling to go through the road of marriage again.
For a while, Sheng Chen was sandwiched between Fang Shanmu and the riverside, feeling that the whole person was not good, and he was on the verge of collapse. She believes that Jiangbian is also good for her, standing in the position of women, giving her advice and preventing Fang Shanmu from cheating. But at the same time, she also trusts Fang Shanmu, thinking that Fang Shanmu will not have anyone outside, with his love for her, his care for her son, his care for peace and joy, and his dedication to flowers and plants, how can he be a person who has an affair outside? Whether a person has changed his mind or not, it can be seen clearly from whether his mind is at home or in her.
If at the beginning, it was Sheng Chen's own lack of confidence or Fang Shanmu's complete concealment of her at work that caused her to have ideas, then later, her suspicion of Fang Shanmu further increased, due to Jiangbian's instigation. And a large part of the cold war between her and Fang Shanmu is due to her and Fang Shanmu's personalities. From the beginning, their love was too evenly matched, and today, when Fang Shanmu thought that her achievements in her career could completely crush her, she still felt that she and he were still standing at the same height, which led to the deepening of the contradiction between the two.
After all, Fang Shanmu did have a bit of machismo, and Sheng Chen had already seen his sometimes overly strong and domineering style. But no matter what, he is her husband, and she doesn't want him to be ugly outside, and she doesn't want to be drunk and embarrassed by the river.
Fang Shanmu shook Sheng Chen's hand: "It's a big deal, just wait for you to drive back next, now you'd better not stand in line, whether it's your husband or your best friend, if you don't help each other, you just stand by and watch." As I said, the riverside is my pass, and I have to pass it by myself. ”
Sheng Chen wanted to say something, but Fang Shanmu took the wine glass and drank it all, and gestured towards the riverside, and then poured another glass: "Jiangbian, if you lose, I want you to answer my three questions and tell the truth." If I lose, it's the same, do you dare to bet?"
"Who doesn't dare, who is a puppy!" Jiangbian also poured a second cup, her hair was a little messy, she took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her arms, and there were a few oil stains on her sweater, completely lacking her previous nobility and calmness, "Let's talk about your problem first, so that you can forget it for a while." ”
"Good. Fang Shanmu was also polite, and took another drink, "First, why do you have to provoke the relationship between me and Sheng Chen? Second, why do you have to control Gu Hao, because he can't change his urine habit of eating, wouldn't it be better to release him directly? Third, you want to start a business with Sheng Chen, what is your real idea? You are not short of money, you should not have the motivation to make money!"
Gu Hao was so anxious that he kicked Fang Shanmu angrily: "You are going to die!
"When I lose, I'll tell you the truth. Jiang Bian also took a drink, "My three questions are, first, have you cheated? Whether it is with Sun Xiaozhao or Jiang Fuyu, or another woman? Second, do you really want a divorce? Third, if you get divorced, will you choose Cheng Pengpeng or Hu Pan?"
"The third question is a different one, it doesn't make sense. "Fang Shanmu will not be fooled, not to mention that the level of digging pits by the river is really average.
"Change for ...... Third, will you men never be able to change the problem of seeing one and loving the other?"
"Okay, okay, all the questions are asked, it's time to clear the customs...... No, it's time to drink. Gu Hao couldn't wait for Jiangbian to get drunk, he had been married to her for many years, and he had never seen Jiangbian drunk, he hoped that Jiangbian could tell the truth when he was drunk.
Riverside doesn't usually drink much, but the amount of alcohol is excellent. When I was in college, I once drank more than 30 bottles of beer with my girlfriends and set up a table of wine bottles, which made me famous.
Sheng Chen complained to Gu Hao: "You don't think it's a big deal, are you? Wait a minute, no matter who they drink too much, it's our trouble." ”
"If there is trouble, solve the trouble, if there is no trouble, and solve the trouble if you create it. Gu Hao grinned and took the initiative to pour a glass for Jiangbian, "Jiangbian, how much alcohol you have, give me the bottom first." ”
"That's it, say there's a fart. Jiangbian pushed Gu Hao away, "I don't like a man like you who has no alcohol and no guts, a straw bag." If you don't drink, you don't have a voice!"
As he spoke, Jiangbian drank three or five glasses in succession, seeing that more than half of the bottle of liquor had gone down, and Fang Shanmu's bottle of wine was still two-thirds left.
The riverside was a little drunk, and there was no image, not only did he open his hair, although the appearance of the cloak was very unsightly, but it was also a little more bold. She stepped on the chair with one foot, held half a bottle of liquor in her hand, and smiled at Fang Shanmu: "Fang Shanmu, it's still too late to admit defeat, I can let you go." If we are not convinced, we will be bored if we have the ability. ”
Fang Shanmu calmly poured the wine in the bottle into three glasses, the red wine glass was filled with white wine, which also had a unique flavor, and he raised one of the glasses first: "To be honest, Jiangbian, your current appearance is quite real, much better than the way you used to hold the shelf with a tone, at least people respect you as a man." In this way, you wait for me two cups, and I will have the last one and you will take a sip. ”
Sheng Chen saw that the competition between the two was at a critical juncture, she was anxious and angry, and wanted to persuade the two, but when she saw Gu Hao glaring at her, she couldn't help but scold: "Gu Hao, you just want to see the riverside jokes, don't you?"
"No, you're wrong, Sheng Chen, I want to see Jiangbian's mighty side after getting drunk!" Gu Hao sighed in his heart, "Don't you know, I've been married to her for so many years, and I've seen her crying and laughing no more than three times." It's more than how many times I've cried in front of her. ”
"Get out of the way, if you don't drink, you're not qualified to speak!" Jiang Bian kicked Gu Hao, "A man cries bitterly in front ......of his wife, don't make a fuss, when do you cry and don't really repent?"
Fang Shanmu squeezed his eyes at Gu Hao, meaning that he should stop fanning the flames, it was enough for him to come forward alone! Fang Shanmu drank two glasses of white wine in a blink of an eye, only the last one was left, and he raised his glass: "By the river, men can meet each other with a smile and enmity, but not between men and women, I am still very dissatisfied with you, but your amount of alcohol makes me admire, come, finish the last glass, if you are not drunk, continue to the next bottle." ”
Sheng Chen was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, you all drank a bottle of liquor each, and if you drink it again, you will die......"
Fang Shanmu pushed Sheng Chen's hand away: "Sheng Chen, do you know how some of my achievements over the years came about? At the beginning, I had a social meeting every day, and I had to drink more than half a catty for every meal. I often vomit everywhere, drink after spitting, and vomit again after drinking. But no matter how embarrassed you are, you will clean up before you go home, so as not to worry about you. ”
Sheng Chen's memory instantly revived: "When my son was born, there was a period of time when you often came home at two or three o'clock in the morning, although the wine was smoking, but your body was very clean...... So you're it?"
"Yes, after throwing up, I will first find a bathing center to rinse it off, clean it and then go home. The dirt and exhaustion, sadness and disappointment that are outside will stay outside and never be brought home. Fang Shanmu said that he was emotional, his eyes were red, for fear of being seen by Sheng Chen, he tilted his neck and drank the last glass of liquor in one go.
Only then did he put down the wine glass, and Jiangbian also blew the liquor in the bottle directly into the bottle.
Fang Shanmu has been in the workplace for many years, and has experienced countless wine games, although he has also seen many times when men drink and blow liquor directly into the bottle when they are excited, but it is the first time that a woman has experienced it so boldly. He has always liked to deal with real and honest people, and for the first time, he faintly had a good impression of the riverside, and the ice in his heart cracked and loosened.
"Jiangbian, it's good!" Fang Shanmu gave her a thumbs up, "How about it, do you want the two of us to have another bottle?"
"No, one bottle per person, don't think I'm a woman and be bullied. Jiangbian stood up, staggered, reached out and took out a bottle of wine, and opened it with a swift movement, "Do you dare to blow another bottle?"
