Yang Xiaojun said, "My wife and I have made a decision, we have sold the house in Xierqi for 3 million, and then we will soon go back to our hometown in the northeast to live in the countryside." ”

Everyone, "......".

Yang Xiaojun smiled, " I know you will be shocked, but we have calculated an account, our hometown to build a three-story villa is only 300,000 yuan, I plan to take the three million, go home to build two villas, one for parents, one for yourself, the rural air is good, the environment is good, the remaining 2.4 million for living expenses, I think I and my wife will not have to work so hard in the future, in the countryside to eat and drink spicy food and spicy 2 million can also live for a lifetime, the work is too tired, do enough, every day so hard to live, feel not interesting at all, the city children study pressure, our family of three want to go back to the countryside to live in seclusion, comfortable, don't do any work, and live a life like idle clouds and wild cranes and paradise. ”

After listening to Yang Xiaojun's narration, everyone didn't say a word, looking at everyone's confused expressions, it seemed that everyone was imagining that picture in their minds, what kind of life is it like to be idle clouds and wild cranes and paradise? Is it really reliable?

"Then do you think so too?" Jiang Xi asked Yang Xiaojun's lover.

Yang Xiaojun's lover said with a smile, "My husband is in charge of our family, I listened to him, and I didn't feel bad, I didn't feel bad when I went to the countryside to live, I didn't have pressure every day, I lived a leisurely life, and I was very happy to think about it, haha, anyway, what he said is what it is." ”

Jiang Xi said seriously, "I think your decision is still a bit impulsive, and children's education is a problem." ”

Yang Xiaojun said, "We don't have high expectations for our child, we just hope that he will have less pressure in the future, just be able to take the university entrance exam, find an easier job in the future, don't have to make too much money, as long as he is happy and happy, anyway, we have saved his family, he doesn't have to work as hard as us, as for education, my mother and I are both regular undergraduate graduates, teaching him should be no problem, I think he should not have a big problem taking the ordinary university entrance examination." ”

Everyone else was silent, only Jiang Xi was still very persistent, "I really think you still need to think about it again, so as not to regret it later!"

Yang Xiaojun said, "Don't think about it, we've been struggling with this matter for three months, and finally made this decision." ”

He was so sure that Jiang Xi stopped talking.

At the end of the meal, everyone shook hands, hugged and said goodbye.

Zhou Qiang hugged me and said, "I definitely won't leave Beijing, I really can't bear you when you leave Beijing, when I'm depressed, I have nowhere to find spiritual comfort, but when you arrive in Nanjing, if you often call me and tell me about your experience of kneeling on the washboard, then I will be much happier." ”

I pushed Zhou Qiang away, "Get out of the way, I've never knelt on the washboard." ”

"Yes, you're all kneeling on the keyboard. Zhou Qiang looked at me and smiled.

I, "......", I thought to myself, Jiang Xi only asked me to kneel once, and then he was never willing to let me kneel, but it was better not to say this.

Everyone else laughs.

Chen Lixin came over and hugged me, "I will miss you too, but fortunately, the high-speed rail is convenient now, and if you want to get together in the future, you can get together at any time." ”

"Yes, Lixin, I wish you all the better and better! I wish you that patriotic heart will always be maintained, so that you will always be our benchmark and example, even if we can't do what you do, but at least, always remind us that in China, there are still many people like you, even if we can't become the pillars of the country alone, but at least we can be one of the small firewood that everyone gathers firewood!"

Chen Lixin said with a smile, "If everyone thinks like this, then it is difficult for China not to be strong, after all, even if everyone is just a small piece of firewood, my country has a population of 1.4 billion, if it is condensed, it can ignite the whole world, I believe that China will always have that day." ”

"I believe it too!" I really believe in my heart, don't ask me why, it's just a feeling.

Cheng Ke said to me, "I'm in Wenzhou, and it's more convenient to get to Nanjing than Beijing, and we will often come to you when we have time in the future." ”

Jin Dan hugged Jiang Xi, "If I'm depressed, I'll go to you." ”

"Yes, welcome to visit us. Jiang Xi hugged Jin Dan back and said with a smile.

Other people also said goodbye to us, and at the same time said goodbye to Yang Xiaojun, they all felt that Yang Xiaojun went back to his hometown in the Northeast, I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities to meet again, Yang Xiaojun said, he missed us and would come to see us.

There is no feast in the world, and I always feel that after this time it is dispersed, there will be fewer people next time, and those who can really keep in touch all the time are even more precious.

In the end, the rest is our family of three and Cheng Ke's family of four, Jin Dan today is specially driving a business Buick GL8, which can sit six adults, Jin Dan took the children to the car first, Cheng Ke and I were at the end, Jiang Xi was just about to get into the car, and suddenly a woman appeared in front of us.

"Cheng Ke, is God helping me? I actually met you here? Why do you always avoid me, I have a lot to say to you. ”

The three of us turned around at the same time and saw Cheng Ke's ex-wife.

The original delicate facial features, now wrinkles have faintly appeared, the hair is no longer stylish, no longer beautiful, the complexion is gray and dull, it seems that in the past five years, Cheng Ke has been tortured in prison, and she has also experienced the baptism of wind and rain.

"What a coincidence, meet here!" Cheng Ke responded lightly, and there was no unusual emotion on his face.

"Cheng Ke, why are you avoiding me"?

"Didn't you visit my daughter at my mom's place every month? I don't think it's necessary for us to meet, to be honest, I can still stand here now, I didn't slap you as soon as we met, I already feel like a man, what else do you want to try?"

Cheng Ke's ex-wife burst into tears, "Cheng Ke, I know I was wrong back then, all these years, I have been very guilty and sad in my heart......."

"Are you guilty or are you sad because you're not doing well? If you're happy, will you take my feelings into account?"

"I'll ......"

"Do you think I'll believe it? Liu Miao, are you a fool to me? I Cheng Ke used to look stupid in front of you, let you rub it, you really make me Cheng Ke a fool? Liu Miao, when I love you, you are the treasure, I don't love you anymore, you are not even as good as dung. ”

When the words fell, Cheng Ke didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so he turned around to get in the car.

As a result, what none of us expected was that Liu Miao knelt directly at Cheng Ke's feet, hugged Cheng Ke, cried and shouted, "Cheng Ke, I beg you, please forgive me, please give me another chance for the sake of the child, I can't forget you, I can't forget the happy days with you, after you are released from prison, I can dream of you every day, woo ......."

"I can't forget you, Liu Miao......"

Cheng Ke's words made Liu Miao's eyes shine with hope for a moment.

It's just Cheng Ke's next sentence that sent Liu Miao to hell again, "I will never forget the harm you did to me, and I will never forget the woman I once loved on the tip of my heart, and I ...... put a knife in my heart with my own hands."

"Cheng Ke......" Liu Miao's tears flowed even more.

"It's still the deadly kind!"

When the words fell, Cheng Ke wanted to kick Liu Miao's arm away, but Liu Miao knelt on the ground and hugged him to death.

"No...... Cheng Ke, I know I'm outrageously wrong, but I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all, when I followed you, you were also a poor boy with nothing, our love is so beautiful......".

"Such a beautiful love was broken by your own hands, I walked to the edge of the cliff in order to let you live a good life, but you pushed me off the cliff with your own hands, do you think there can be a good result between us?"

Liu Miao looked a little anxious, "I said, I know it's wrong, you are living a good life now, can't you forgive me once?" We have children, of course children are best with their biological parents, can you bear to let your children lack a father and a young mother?"

When she said this, Cheng Ke's mouth was about to be crooked by her, he was speechless, he didn't want to talk nonsense with her, he raised his feet and wanted to leave again, but Liu Miao hugged him again, "I won't let you go." ”

"What are you holding my husband for?" Suddenly, Jin Dan stepped out of the car.

Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at Jin Dan, I thought she would let go of Cheng Ke's ankle with a weak heart, but she grabbed it tighter, and glared at Jin Dan viciously and said, "You hooked Cheng Ke?"

Jin Dan said expressionlessly, "No, it was you who killed your lover, I saved him and turned him into my lover." ”

"I didn't, I didn't let Cheng Ke go to prison for breaking the law, he committed suicide because he couldn't think about it in prison, isn't it normal for a husband and wife to divorce and remarry?"

She's a quibble, I thought.

"Hmph!" Jin Dan sneered, "Okay, according to your line of thinking, isn't it normal for a husband and wife to divorce and not remarry? Who stipulates that a husband and wife must remarry when they divorce, not to mention, Cheng Ke and I are already married, don't you know, do you want to be a junior?"

"I'm not a junior, you're ......."

"You're not qualified enough!" Jin Dan looked at Liu Miao with a condescending face, as if he was looking at an ant at the bottom.

Liu Miao was unconvinced, "What do you mean"?

Jin Dan took a deep breath and said calmly, "I am an entrepreneur worth tens of millions, and now I am Cheng Ke's legal wife, do you think you are qualified to be a third party? Cheng Ke has water in his head, and he will still reconcile with you, the broken shoes that have been broken outside?"

"You ......" Liu Miao was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"I am still Cheng Ranran's legal guardian, when you gave up the custody of the child and handed her over to Cheng Ke's family, you still have X face to use the child?"

Liu Miao's face turned blue and white for a while when Jin Dan said it, looking at her shocked look, I was afraid that I didn't expect Jin Dan to be so big.

I thought that ordinary women were like this, knowing that they were different from others, they should be alive, right?

As a result, when she saw that Cheng Ke was about to leave again, she immediately hugged Cheng Ke's leg and shouted, "Cheng Ranran, Cheng Ranran, it's Mom, it's Mom, it's Mom, come out and help Mom keep Dad!" Cheng Ranran ......."

She shouted heartbreakingly, Cheng Ranran's child heard it in the car, and immediately got out of the car, she was one year older than Jiang Dongxi, and she was already very sensible.

It was her mother, and although her mother was not with her all the time, she would come to see her once a month, and she ran to her mother's side and hugged her.

"Mom, why are you here, what are you doing here?"

Liu Miao said, "Ranran, help me persuade your father, let him come back to me, we are a family of three together, I am your real mother, no matter how rich others are, they will not love you more than me, you quickly persuade your father, okay? Mom begs you?"

Cheng Ranran looked at her mother and reached out to wipe her mother's tears, which moved Liu Miao to shed more tears.

However, what Cheng Ranran said was something that none of us expected.

"Mom, why are you doing this? In the five years that my dad was in prison, you never said you wanted to be with me and my dad, at that time, you were with other men, I didn't blame you, I think grandma is very good to me, and it is good to meet your own mother every month, and you, with other men, I also think it's good, that's your choice...... Now Jindan's mother has become my mother, although she is my stepmother, but she is trying to be good to me, for so many years, I have not been as happy as in the last few months, I think this is very good, you go to find other men, we still see each other every month, this is still very good, I am used to this......".

"What are you talking about, Cheng Ranran......"

"Smack!", Liu Miao was angry and gave Cheng Ranran a slap.

Cheng Ranran said "Ah!", covered his face, and then pushed Liu Miao down, shouting, "What qualifications do you have to beat me? What have you done for me since I was a child? At this time, you are still like this, it is so selfish that people don't want you as a real mother at all! Dad, let's go! Today she slapped me, and I don't want to meet her once a month in the future, she is not qualified to be my mother, not even a hair of Jin Dan's mother. ”

Cheng Ranran said and pulled Cheng Ke into the car, the child is actually very simple, who is good to her, who is not good enough to her, her feeling is the most intuitive.

Because Jin Dan cherishes Cheng Ke, he loves the house and Wu, and strives to be good to Cheng Ranran. And in order to find Cheng Ke and find his happy life, Liu Miao made great use of Cheng Ranran, and compared with the two, even a child about ten years old can distinguish who is good and who is bad.

Cheng Ke, Cheng Ranran, and Jin Dan got into the car.

Jiang Xi and I were also going to get into the car, but Liu Miao pulled Jiang Xi again.

She cried and said, "We have eaten together, chatted, and have been so happy together, you help me persuade Cheng Ke to be okay, I really want to return to him, I really know that I am wrong, I will definitely change it in the future, please you." ”

Jiang Xi pushed her hand away and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to appear in front of Cheng Ke, what's more, you know that he has remarried, and he is still entangled, this is really immoral and shameless, in the end, even the meat that fell from your own body looks down on you, why bother, clean up ...... well"

Jiang Xi said, straightened Liu Miao's wrinkled clothes, and helped her tuck her messy hair and said, "Find a man again and live a new life, but this time, before getting married, open your eyes wide and confirm whether it is the man you want, after getting married, just turn a blind eye and be more considerate and tolerant in everything, only in this way can you be happy!"

After saying this, Jiang Xi gave me a look, and I followed her into the car.

As soon as Jin Dan stepped on the accelerator, the car drove past Liu Miao, I sat in the car, and saw Liu Miao kneeling on the ground crying so much that he couldn't cry himself, and he was unwilling to cry.

"Cheng Ke, I really know it's wrong...... Woo!"

The car went away, and Jin Dan asked with a not very good face, "Why did she divorce his second husband?"

Cheng Ke said calmly, "I heard that it is because of the high consumption now, his husband alone is not enough to support the whole family, let her go out to work to make money, but because she has not gone out to work for many years, and now she is older, she has no skills, and finally went to work as an insurance salesman, but after three months, not a single order was signed, and his husband thought she was useless, and had a big quarrel with her, and the two went to divorce." ”

After Cheng Ke finished speaking, no one in the car made a sound, it seemed that the children felt the depression of the atmosphere, and no one was naughty.

When we arrived at my doorstep, our family of three got off the bus and they went back to the hotel.

After Jiang Xi and I washed up and lay down on the bed, I thought she would talk to me about Liu Miao, but she smiled and said, "Let's plan our trip to Nanjing, have you done the work in Nanjing? If there is no problem, we will move next month." ”

I smiled and said, "My boss promised me to transfer me to Nanjing next month." ”

She said, "Wow, that's a lot of savings, and it's great not having to look for a job again." ”

"Yes, as you said, good people will be rewarded!" I pinched her little nose.

She kissed me on the chin, "Then sleep in peace, dear Dong!"

Me, "......".

"After so many years of marriage, I haven't heard you call me that kind 'Dong' for a long time, how can I sleep?"

Jiang Xi said with a smile, "During the Strike Hard Period, you can only sleep purely, and you have to sleep purely until the end, kissing can also be avoided, pulling small hands, pinching the face of the bun can barely pass." ”

Me, "......". Wife, you are so skinny!

…………

In the following month, our family of three went back to Nanjing, first settled our household registration, and some of the procedures for the registration of the household registration required the presence of the person, and the follow-up procedures were all run by Jiang Xi alone.

After the hukou was settled, Jiang Xi began to run a school for Jiangxi, and after many twists and turns, he finally contacted the relevant person in charge of the school in my house school district.

The person in charge said a bunch of nonsense about the difficulty of transferring to another school, obviously, there was a hint, but it was a pity that he met Jiang Xi, and Jiang Xi pretended to be stupid from beginning to end.

Jiang Xi said that before she went, she checked the relevant policies, and the school was responsible for transferring eligible students, and if the person in charge deliberately made it difficult, she could complain, so she didn't want to get used to his faults, but she didn't want to offend him, and he finally did it according to the regulations.

The Nanjing school issued a certificate of acceptance, and it was necessary to go to Beijing to issue a certificate of transfer, and then it had to transfer its membership online and wait for 15 working days to be confirmed.

Transferring to another school is the biggest thing, and after the transfer is basically done, Jiang Xi begins to clean up his house.

I knew it was tiring to move and pack things, but I didn't help her because I was working overtime, and she packed everything by herself.

After cleaning up, she also contacted the moving company in another place, cut it with others for a long time, negotiated the price, and took away all the things we used in Beijing, including a chopstick, a total of 600 yuan to Nanjing, from the Nanjing transfer point to the home, and then calculated with the logistics company in Nanjing, saying that it was about 400 yuan.

When everything was ready, I waited for my job to be reversed, and it turned out that my work went wrong.

The leader who had promised to transfer me to Nanjing suddenly resigned and was replaced with a new leader.

When I asked the new leader to talk about this, the new leader said to me seriously, "First of all, it was not me who promised you this, and secondly, I don't feel that Nanjing needs to transfer employees from Beijing, so I can't be responsible for this matter, if you have to go to Nanjing, then you have to resign yourself." ”

This incident made me deeply embarrassed, the child's school turned around, and Jiang Xi even rented our family's house to an intermediary company for trusteeship.

In the evening, I went home to discuss this matter with Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi thought for a while and said, "We can drag on for half a month, you use this half a month to work hard to find a job in Nanjing, Nanjing, we have to go, the child will not be able to transfer to school when he is older, and the child's studies are the most important." ”

I said, "Okay, that's it!"

I started to use my spare time to send out my resume, but Nanjing, after all, is a second-tier city, and the job opportunities are really much less than Beijing.

There are very few large IT companies in Nanjing, and I basically don't pick companies anymore, so I sent resumes to large and small companies, and then, half a month has passed, and there is still no company to respond to me.

The contract signed with the leasing agent for my house in Beijing is about to vacate the house, and the pressure on me and Jiang Xi is a bit like a soldier in the city.

Jiang Xi saw that I was under pressure, and comforted me and said, "Don't be afraid, we still have a few days, maybe there will be news tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in case there is no news, I will move to Nanjing with Jiang Dongxi first, and when you slowly ride a donkey to find a horse, find it, and then you come to Nanjing." ”

How can I rest assured that a woman with a child is moving and living in a place where she is not familiar with her life. ”

I gritted my teeth in my heart that I had to find a new job.

On the third day before leaving, a company in Nanjing called me back and conducted a telephone interview.

It was a small company, and the leader's tone was very good, and after talking to me about some professional issues, he directly said, "Oh, we are in urgent need of talents like you, can you come to work quickly?"

I immediately said, "Yes." ”

The conversation was very happy, and at the end of the conversation, the leader asked me, "What is the salary requirement on your side?"

I said, "I'm now in Beijing with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan before tax, and you can give me the same salary here." ”

The leader on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hahahaha, our small temple, I'm afraid we can't raise your big fish, I'm your leader, I haven't paid you as much as you yet, if you are willing to come, we can give you up to half of your current salary." Nanjing is a very strange city, the consumption level is not much lower than the first-tier cities, but the wage level is far worse than the first-tier cities. ”

At that time, I felt that I was full of hope and eagerness, and I was poured a basin of cold water on my head, and it was cold all at once.

I don't know if other people have that feeling, when you earn 10,000 yuan a month, and the new job gives you 15,000, you will be very happy and satisfied, but you originally earned 30,000 yuan a month, and the new job gives you 15,000, psychologically, it is really difficult to accept.

In addition, the salary of our IT industry, every time I change jobs, the salary increase is based on the original salary base, if I agree to this job this time, it is equivalent to my life has regressed by half, and if I change jobs in the future and ask for a salary increase, it will be increased according to the annual salary of 150,000 yuan, which is simply a blow to my career.

To go, or not to go, again put me in a dilemma.

Sometimes I find that life seems to be a choice after another choice, whether it is choosing a couple or choosing a job, and which step is wrong will change the trajectory of my life.

For such a major matter, I naturally have to discuss it with Jiang Xi.
