Waking up on the first day of marriage, there is no husband by the bedside, there is no big red happy word on the glass, and there is no love breakfast on the dinner plate, which is frustrating enough to doubt life. But this day is still the first working day after the long holiday.

I sighed in the middle of the noisy alarm clock and froze for a full minute before I lifted the quilt and got out of bed. I walked to the bathroom and washed my unkempt face in the mirror.

As a social person, I know that society is full of rules, but I still want to know how many people in this gorgeous world are as shabby as I am, and life forces them to choose between self and work.

What is this choice, you ask?

Isn't that obvious enough?

Isn't it just those three questions that your boss shouts hoarsely at the monthly meeting when you are silent with all your colleagues with a black face, slapping the table?

For example, who is important, self or work?

For example, who should come before others in self and work?

Another example: who wants to serve whom in the two relationships?

I have been searching for the answers to these three questions for more than ten years, but they are nothing more than this: today the east wind will prevail over the west wind, and tomorrow the west wind will prevail over the east wind. It's hard to say.

My best friends are pretty neat.

Mosquito chooses to work, and the advice she gives is: It's not your fault to bend your waist for five buckets of rice, because we have housing and car loans to repay, parents to support, children to pull, and social entertainment...... If you lose your job, who will protect you with these things?

This is the most common conservative type of life.

Just like the capital-guaranteed wealth management products placed on the bank counter, no matter how much you invest, the return it gives you is not enough to go to the mall and go shopping as you like, but it is stable and will not let you lose your money.

Kidney beans and I are worried about this kind of foolproof, and on the other hand, we have a strong desire for wealth and wealth, and we dare not refute the words of mosquitoes.

Only Garfield, she is a woman who has never longed for comfort and immutability in life, so she chooses herself. What made the three of us hate it the most was that she succeeded.

From then on, whether to fight for oneself or defend oneself has become the second area of taboo in our three or eight groups, just like getting married and having children.

I also got mixed up to this age in the mud as I wished, and I was like a long-dusted bad affair, and I never dared to mention it casually.

A woman's vulnerability is so simple, not because of how much white eyes there are in this society, nor is it the fear that there will be someone behind you to support you, just because of your age.

It's really uncomfortable for his grandfather to be old. Even the uncle who sells fruit is not as good as he used to be.

You say, "Can you not accept your fate?"

I took out my off-white top from the closet, replaced my strawberry pajamas and pajamas with the off-white skirt, and put on black stockings and the black trench coat.

In keeping with the development of the city, our unit is currently divided into two areas, the old department in the east of the city and the headquarters of the new area in the south of the city. My department is part of the old department, and it is only two streets away from the community where Nanako lives. This is one of the reasons why I was eager to move to Seongnam.

In order to facilitate the commuting of the majority of employees, the unit specially arranged a shuttle bus for us. Every morning at 7:25, this shuttle bus arrived at the gate of my community on time. The bus driver's surname is Chen, and when I first went to work, we all called him Xiao Chen, and now everyone is used to calling him Lao Chen.

I've worked with Chen the longest, so he'll wait for me for an extra minute. A minute later, whether I show up or not, the car will leave my neighborhood and drive to the east of the city.

That's why I nicknamed him: Chen Yifen.

Today's shuttle buses arrived at the old department of the unit smoothly after traveling for 20 minutes.

Carrying a small satchel, I slowly walked from the rear of the car to the front of the car. When I was about to get to the door, Chen Yifen glanced at me.

I smiled in understanding.

This buddy took advantage of the driver's master, from the high-level boss to the cleaning aunt, no one's gossip news can escape his mouth.

My intuition tells me that there is big news hidden in his eyes.

I quickly pulled over and sat down in the empty first row, and said something to myself: "Strange, where are my keys? My keys won't fall off the car, will they?"

Chen smiled and said, "Wu Xiaoqi, you haven't changed your problem for more than ten years." I've picked up your key no less than ten times. ”

Uh, that's right, I've repeated this method no less than ten times in front of Chen Yifen.

After all the people in the carriage were empty, Chen Yifen quickly got up from the driver's seat and walked quickly to the front of the lane of the first row of seats.

"Why did you go yesterday?"

He asked, lowering his voice.

Without thinking, I replied: "I was at home on vacation yesterday, what did I do?"

"Wu Xiaoqi, you haven't realized the importance of the problem yet. ”

Chen Yifen pointed at me with a serious expression.

I was anxious: "Our fairy went back on her word and didn't admit to giving me seven days off?"

"Tut, Wu Xiaoqi, you don't even hide it from me, are you worthy of my careful care for you for so many years?"

"What am I hiding from you? I was really at home yesterday on vacation. I didn't go to the Maldives to roll on the beach, nor did I go to Lijiang bars and other sexual encounters. ”

"Okay, count yourself ruthless. If it weren't for the revolutionary friendship between you and me for so many years, I really wouldn't want to care about you this time. Chen Yifen did not have the usual hippie smile, and after sitting down on the vacant seat opposite me, he still looked serious and serious: "Yesterday, Xiao Zhang from the personnel department of the unit went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to do business, and said that he saw you and a man getting the certificate. Wu Xiaoqi, don't be self-digging to learn from those young people to play hidden marriage. Don't forget, you are not in a private enterprise, your unit is a state-owned enterprise, you are an active member of the party, and your personal problems do not belong to you for a long time. Hurry up, go to the report that should be called, and confess to me immediately. ”

I gasped, and my left hand was like a pestle pounding medicine, and I kept slapping at the door of my head: "This, this, this...... Chen Yifen, I confess to you. Great grace is not grateful, show grace and reciprocate, go first. ”

After saying that, I grabbed my shoulder bag and rushed out of the car without looking back.

That's the choice I have to face in my work and in my self.

I can choose to tell or not tell my mom and my dad who I marry, but I can't hide anything from the unit.

With the speed of the 100-meter sprint, I ran to meet the fairy as soon as I finished punching in the office on time.

The fairy is the number one in our department.

There are a total of nine people in our department, both inside and outside, whether in terms of terms of terms of authority or population, the position is a bit awkward in such a powerful state-owned enterprise.

The fairy is described in this way, in the eyes of the royal relatives of the R&D department, they are considered ordinary people, and in the eyes of the elite soldiers and strong generals in the sales department, they are regarded as idle meals. Therefore, be a person and do things, be low-key and don't be high-profile.

Her policy of enduring humiliation and burdens is not beneficial to us, but it is beneficial to her. After all, in an institution with many mouths, the adult's judgment of the situation is always more important than her sharpness.

When I stood at the door of the fairy's office, I exhaled before gritting my teeth and raising my hand to gently tap the door panel three times.

"Enter~"
