Chapter 15 My husband was fired by the company
The rain was heavy and full of day, and in the evening, it finally stopped.
All afternoon I kept saying "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry", and my smile almost froze on my face. Seeing that I was not in the mood, the swallow got up and said goodbye and left.
The daughter hid for a long time, and only at dinner did she dare to pull the corner of her grandmother's clothes, secretly revealing half of her face from behind, her eyes dodging, and tiptoeing out of the door. She was quiet throughout the dinner, except for the sound of gobbling up chews. After eating, he pushed his grandmother out to play.
Seeing that I had been black-faced, my mother didn't talk to me, and after being busy in the kitchen as usual, she took her daughter away, and came back at 8 o'clock in the evening, and took her daughter to wash and sleep.
My husband kept sneezing because of the rain, and he had a high fever after dinner. Stubborn, he didn't want to go to the hospital, ate the cold granules that were always available at home, and lay down early to wrap the quilt tightly and sweat.
The next day, my grandfather and grandson got up very early, and went straight to the hospital without calling me. My husband's fever also subsided, and he insisted that he was unwilling to ask for leave, and I didn't stop him. It's just that he didn't mention yesterday's incident, I wondered, but I didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it.
I was the only one left in the family, and I suddenly felt a little lonely quietly. I turned on the QQ music on my mobile phone and flipped to Liu Keyi's "Half a Pot of Yarn":
"Sandalwood blows
The jade bracelet makes light yarn
Leave one empty
A bud-colored tea
If the mountains and rivers in my heart
You see it all
I prayed one lotus at a time
How do you know that there is a patch of grass that grows?
The years make people old
Wind and moon flowers and birds
Laughing at it."
Familiar tunes spread throughout the room, seducing thousands of emotions. I walked to the mirror, carefully looked at the figure inside, now it is really "the years urge people to get old", although the body has recovered after giving birth, but it has been slightly fat, if it wasn't for the previous like to dance, it is estimated that it has already been deformed. The skin on the face has precipitated sporadic spots, the fine lines at the corners of the eyes are looming, the eyes can no longer see the previous clarity, calm and calm a little bleak, the lively and lovely little girl in the past, has become sentimental in the tempering of the years, and even the smile lacks the previous agility and looks dry.
Is the person in the mirror really me? I'm a little confused.
I closed my eyes and remembered seriously, but I didn't seem to be able to recall many things, and the past of these years seemed to be a trickle of water, without too much sound and without too many imprints.
"I am Shen Weilan, tiny micro, orchid orchid, tiny as an orchid, strong as an orchid," suddenly, a crisp, sweet and familiar voice sounded in my ears, "This is the name that my father personally chosen, my family was too poor before, and my father hopes that although I am a girl, I can't be too squeamish, but have a strong vitality like an orchid." I am twenty-four years old, from the Chinese Department of XX University, and I will work as an editor in the company in the future, please take care of me!"
The girl wore a thin ponytail, and when she walked, the ponytail was like a black pendulum behind her head, and her clear eyes were full of smiles, like a rising sun. Careful and enthusiastic in her work, difficulties are challenges for her, full of temptation to be conquered, because she knows that as long as she is willing to work hard, perseverance will definitely be rewarded. She actively proposes column reform and design proposals for the company's magazine, even when it is questioned. At that time, her only goal was to be able to become the editor-in-chief of the magazine one day, and then design and publish her own magazine, publish her own book, and fantasize about happiness and joy after success.
After several years of hard work, she became the editor-in-chief, but she gradually drifted away from the current me. If in the past, she may have been brave enough to overcome obstacles because she had nothing, but today she has accumulated enough experience but is more afraid of losing, so she has become a victim of gains and losses, and does not dare to easily follow the voice of her heart.
"What's wrong with me? I've been feeling sorry for myself lately?" I don't like to be so depressed, I'm afraid I'll fall into the abyss of my emotions.
So, I touched my face, smiled in the mirror, and decided to drive away the gloom in my heart.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was my husband calling.
"Xiaolan, where are you now?" asked her husband softly.
"At home. I said, looking up at the photos on the wall, it was our wedding photo, wearing a red Hanfu, I was sitting and pretending to play the guzheng, he stood on my right side, his left hand held my shoulder, lowered his head and listened, it seemed that he was still very intoxicated, thinking of the scene when I took the photo, I couldn't help but purse my mouth and raise the corners of my mouth.
"Come out now, I'll wait for you by the creek in the park near us, it's sunny today, let's go out for a walk, I have something to tell you." The husband's tone was calm and gentle.
"Oh, okay. I'll leave now, how long will it take for you to arrive?" I couldn't wait as soon as I heard that I was going to the park, and it was just the two of us, or he took the initiative to invite me.
After having a child, we haven't dated alone for a long time, and I can't remember the last time in my memory when it was the year and month, and every time I want to leave my daughter to play by myself, it seems that I have done a great loss and feel uneasy. It just so happens that she is not here today, everything is of course, and it is about to happen so pleasantly, I am looking forward to it. I deliberately put on a red dress, put on long white crystal earrings, put on my eyebrows and eye shadow, used mascara to make my eyelashes long and dense, applied blush, and chose a big red lipstick to complete a simple makeup. Then the hair is draped down and meticulously combed with a comb. I took out a pair of silver high heels that had been dusted for a year and were still brand new from the shoe cabinet, and after finding a shoe polish cloth to wipe them clean from the inside out, I carefully tried them on a few times at the door, and then I set off with confidence.
At the entrance of the park, the familiar figure of her husband was pacing back and forth in waiting, as if she was in a hurry.
"Husband, are you so fast?" I asked, hurrying to him in three steps and two steps.
"Well, hang up and I'll be out. My husband smiled and said.
"Then let's go to the river now. I stepped forward and grabbed his arm tightly, hoping that he would take a good look at the difference I had today.
"Okay, let's go. "Apparently he didn't notice.
"Hmm. "I'm a little disappointed.
"Why do you wear high heels and aren't you afraid of getting tired?" Fortunately, he still noticed my shoes.
"It's okay, I haven't worn it for a long time, I'll see if I can still walk. I was a little embarrassed to say.
We looked around at the scenery and didn't talk to each other again, so the two of us silently walked under the willow tree by the river. It was almost noon, the sun was strong and warm, and I leaned over him, raised my head, and bathed my whole face in the sunlight.
"Xiaolan, there is something I want to tell you. He whispered.
"Tell me what? I waited quietly.
"Don't get excited! I can't ......help it," he said with an embarrassed look on his face, pulling his arms out, putting his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky above him, and sighing quietly.
"What the hell is going on?!" I stared at him with wide eyes, and a bad feeling began to tug at the nerves in my brain.
"I ......" was silent for a moment, he seemed to muster up all the courage of his body, "I was fired by the company!" After saying that, he immediately turned around and gave me a back, lowered his head to look at the ground, his waist was slightly bent, and his feet took turns stepping on a small pebble at his feet.
"No, what are you talking about? I don't understand!" I couldn't believe my ears.
"It's true, just now. Again, he affirmed, his voice a little vicissitudes.
I froze, my mouth open and I didn't make a sound, not knowing what to do.
He looked at my face and held me in his arms, his chin resting on my head, as if asking for forgiveness, as if he wanted to get comfort from me, and I could feel the sadness in his heart.
I didn't ask why, because I knew he wouldn't speak, and I was silent, my mind in confusion.
"Don't worry, I'll find a job as soon as possible. He assured.
"Well, I know, come on!" I said, hiding my disappointment, and pretending to smile at him.
What to do with my own work, at this moment, it was like entering a forest full of fog, completely lost.
"If I had resigned, what would life be like for both of us to be laid off today?" I gasped, not daring to think about it.
