Comfortable community, Ah Zhen's home.

"Here, eat some fruit. Ah Zhen took a large plate of cut fruit and put it on the coffee table in front of me and Shi Yigang: "You two don't say hello in advance when you come over, there are only apples and watermelons at home, so let's order them." ”

Shi Yigang picked up a piece of watermelon casually and said with a smile: "! You are a courier, why do you still have a good style, what's the matter, let me tell you in advance, you are still willing to buy me durian to eat?"

We haven't seen each other for a long time, and Ah Zhen didn't take Shi Yigang's ridicule seriously at all: "Don't talk about sending couriers, I'm just a duck, then I should be your brother, and I'm still your brother, understand!"

"It's good to have apples, you still eat chicken feather durian, the three of us were in the Internet café, and a ham sausage was eaten separately, what kind of soil do you pretend to be with me!" I also laughed, and then glanced at the house that Ah Zhen bought, the area of this house is not large, only about 60 square meters, and the house type is also very general, it is a long tube room, the decoration in the room is more simple, just paint the wall, and then pave the floor tiles, in addition, the room is empty, TV, refrigerator, Washing machines and computers, none of them.

Shi Yigang walked around the room in slippers, and turned his head to look at Ah Zhen: "Why are you at home by yourself, what about your daughter-in-law and your father?"

Since we came, Ah Zhen has been busy, and when he heard Shi Yigang's question, he put the two cups of tea in his hand in front of us: "My dad went out to play mahjong, and Juanzi heard from a friend that there is a prenatal education center in the city, and you can experience it for free these days, so I went to line up." ”

"Queue?" Shi Yigang immediately frowned after listening to Ah Zhen's words: "She is pregnant, and you still let her go to the queue, what if she bumps into it and breaks my eldest nephew?"

I told her, but she didn't listen, she had to say that prenatal education is good for the child, she insisted on going, and I didn't stop it, after all, pregnant women have to be in a good mood. Ah Zhen paused after speaking: "I usually tell Juanzi about you, just now I called her and told her that you are coming, she asked me to keep you, let's have dinner together." ”

"Let's not talk about eating. Shi Yigang frowned: "Since your daughter-in-law wants prenatal education, then sign up for classes, why do you have to go to the free experience over there?"

"You said it lightly, that prenatal education center, every day the whole headset on your stomach, and then give a massage or something, it costs more than 2,000 a month, just rely on me to send express delivery every day, what to consume!"

As soon as Shi Yi heard Ah Zhen's words, he reached out and took out the bag, and took out a bank card inside: "There are 10,000 yuan in it, you keep it, and you will go and report your name tomorrow, first for five months, and for the remaining months, I will punch you in when I go back." ”

", don't pull the calf. After listening to Shi Yigang's words, Ah Zhen stretched out his hand and pushed the card back: "Don't pretend to be a local tyrant with me! It's not easy for you to make some money, keep it for yourself, you won't be allowed to get married, buy a house or anything in the future." ”

"If you give it to you, you can get it, where did you get so much, it's not easy for me to make money, isn't it faster than you. ”

"I'm telling you, that's not the case......"

Seeing that Ah Zhen was about to speak, I also raised my hand to interrupt him: "You can take this money, don't be embarrassed, it's really not good, just be your child, Shi Yigang has just joined the shares." ”

After listening to my words, Ah Zhen pursed his lips and thought for a while: "Why do I think your words sound so awkward?"

"What's awkward, you can take it quickly, pregnant women are no better than others, they go there all day long, something really has to happen, it's too late to regret it." Shi Yigang couldn't help but stuff the card into Ah Zhen's hand: "You know that I am a person, there is no merit, it is just picking, so usually others want to spend my money, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, but you are different, you are one of the few people who are willing to let me spend money willingly, understand?"

Shi Yigang's voice fell, and Ah Zhen's eyes were slightly red: "Okay, if you want to say that, I will accept the money." ”

"Accept is accept, you must report the prenatal education class to your daughter-in-law, don't take it out for prostitution yourself. Shi Yigang was serious for less than three sentences, and began to digress again.

Ah Zhen grinned and sat on the sofa on the side: "Do you two have a cigarette, give me one, don't dare to smoke at home these days, don't suffocate me." ”

Seeing Ah Zhen's appearance, I took out my cigarette and laughed: "With your strength, I know that you will definitely not dare to go out to prostitute." ”

"It's not that I don't dare to prostitute, but I don't want to prostitute. Ah Zhen, who hadn't smoked for a long time, took two puffs of cigarettes, obviously a little confused, and his eyes were a little straight: " I now send express delivery, the monthly salary is about 3,000 yuan, of which 1,007 is used to pay off the mortgage, the remaining more than 1,000 yuan, I have to give my dad 500 yuan pocket money every month, the remaining hundreds of yuan, is the living expenses of our three people, don't hide it from you, until now, I even Juanzi will have children in the future and buy milk powder money, I haven't saved enough, a few days ago I took Juanzi to the maternal and child health hospital for examination, the doctor suggested that Juanzi take some folic acid tablets, saying that that thing is good for the fetus, and then I went out to ask, the cheapest medicine is more than 100 a box, but it is not produced by regular manufacturers, I didn't dare to buy, as for the better, I asked for a thousand yuan a box, and I was not willing to buy it, and finally Juanzi checked it on the Internet and said that kiwifruit also contains folic acid, so I bought some kiwifruit myself, which is considered a supplement. ”

Pregnant women are no better than others, and the nutrition that should be supplemented must be supplemented. With that, I then picked up my handbag and pulled out a bank card.

Ah Zhen saw my action of taking the card, and his expression changed suddenly: "Xiaofei! we are brothers, when I am in trouble, I will ask you for help, but I can't accept your charity." ”

"You're thinking too much. I stretched out my hand and slapped the bank card on the table: "This card is given to you by Brother Dong, and there are 60,000 yuan in it, of which 50,000 yuan was promised to you when you left, and the other 10,000 yuan is the money he gave you with him." ”

After listening to my words, Ah Zhen's expression froze suddenly: "When I left, Brother Dong said that when he got better, he would give me another 50,000 yuan, I always thought that what he said was a kind word, but I didn't expect him to remember it......"

"Since he gave it to you, you can take it, Brother Dong has been in Dragon City recently, and he is mixing well. "Ah Zhen has already withdrawn from this circle, so I didn't tell him too much about the Dragon City side, just casually perfunctory.

"Thank you Brother Dong for me!" Ah Zhen looked at the bank card on the table and grinned: "Juanzi has always wanted to open a vegetable and fruit store before, and Brother Dong's money has really helped me a lot!"

I smiled when I heard this: "It's really a coincidence, Brother Dong also said the same thing to me, and he also asked me to thank you, thank you for being by his side when he was in the most difficult time." ”

After listening to my words, Ah Zhen nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Xiaofei, I regret a little that I quit this circle so early. ”

"!" Shi Yigang was immediately amused: "Big brother, you are about to be a father, don't talk about calves at this time, okay?

I also laughed: "What Gangzi said is right, you will get married soon, and your wife will be pregnant, so let's live a down-to-earth life in the future, think less about those who don't, if you return to society, you really have three long and two short, who do you let your father and your wife and children count on in the future?"

"It's precisely because I have a wife and children right away that I really feel tired!" After Ah Zhen finished saying these words, he grabbed his hair in pain, and his eyes quickly turned red: " When I was chasing Juanzi, there was another boy who was also chasing her, that boy and Juanzi were fellow villagers in a county, his parents were government civil servants in that county, and the family conditions were very good, but I didn't care about these at the time, and Juanzi didn't care about these, both of us firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to live a good life in the future, and the reality is that with my lack of craftsmanship, Men without academic qualifications, want to rely on ordinary efforts to gain a foothold in this society, it is really too difficult, when I didn't have a wife and children, I can mix as much as I want, even if I don't go home for a day, I just need to buy a pancake fruit at a roadside stall, and then open an all-night in an Internet café at night, even if this day is mixed, when I am alone, I am carefree, but now I not only want to get married, but also be a father, you say, I can watch my wife and children, and also hold a pancake fruit to mess with me? The thought of having to eat milk powder and go to kindergarten in the future has to cost money everywhere, and this pressure has almost blown my head up!"

'Smack!'

I stretched out my hand and patted Ah Zhen's shoulder: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, you stand at the window and look, the endless crowd on the street, who doesn't have a few troubles, we are called a man, then we should straighten our backs, grit our teeth and stand firm in this doggy society, and the man who can withstand the pressure and put his wife and children on his shoulders is called a man!"

Shi Yigang also nodded slightly: "Yes, no matter how hard it is, you have to hold on, even if it is for your father, wife and children." ”

"Whew!" Ah Zhen let out a long breath when he heard this: "I understand the truth you said, and I have figured it out, but if I don't say this kind of pressure, I will feel very depressed, and now I will be a lot easier to complain to the two of you, you are right, I can't be crushed by life, even for my unborn child." ”

"......" After Ah Zhen's words, I also fell silent and stopped talking, in fact, he didn't know how much I envied his stressful life, how much I longed for a home of my own, and how much I longed for this kind of life where I opened the door every day, and my family and lover were in front of me.

I have always believed that no one in the world will live an absolutely perfect life, we are all facing all kinds of unsatisfactory and pressure, and in the face of this pressure, the person who chooses to submit is called sad, on the contrary, will work hard to solve this unsatisfactory and choose to face the person who is optimistic, it may be called happiness.

The three of us chatted in Ah Zhen's humble marriage room for an afternoon, and at four o'clock, we drove out, and then went to the prenatal education center to pick up Ah Zhen's girlfriend Wen Juan, planning to have a loving dinner together.
