Section XXXV

After two days of suffering in panic, He Sicheng became very haggard. In the past two days, he and his wife Zhao Jiayi have no contact, no telephone, no WeChat, which is unique in the married life of the two of them for more than ten years, He Sicheng has been looking forward to his wife's phone call all the time, but he is afraid of receiving a call from his wife, he is afraid that his wife will say something more decisive! He is even childishly praying: his wife does not contact him, maybe in a few days his wife will not be angry, and he will no longer mention the divorce with himself!

It was Saturday, before eight o'clock, He Sicheng woke up, he lay in bed and didn't want to get up, because he didn't know what to do when he got up. Lying on the bed and thinking wildly, He Sicheng's phone rang, he took the phone and saw that it was his wife calling, his heart jumped wildly, he hesitated for a few seconds and pretended to be casual and connected the phone: "Jiayi, today is the weekend, why do you get up so early?" "Are you at home? I have prepared the "Divorce Agreement", I just don't go to work today, I will take it to you to take a look, if you have an opinion, we will change, if there is no opinion, we will sign it, and go through the formalities next week. His wife's tone was as flat as if she was discussing with He Sicheng what kind of food to buy today and who would cook at night? Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he really heard this, He Sicheng still felt that it was a thunderbolt, and the temperature in midsummer suddenly dropped to freezing! He Sicheng knew his wife, and he knew that it was useless for him to say anything at this moment, so he had to reply: "Come back, I'm at home." He hung up.

He Sicheng sat in bed, feeling that he was dreaming, the truth was so cruel that he couldn't believe that this was the truth! After sitting for a long time, He Sicheng got up and washed, he took a bath, shaved seriously, found a set of clothes that he thought were handsome to wear, and tried to clean himself up neatly.

It didn't take long for the door to ring, the door slowly opened, his wife Zhao Jiayi walked in, turned around and closed the door, He Sicheng knew that the door to his happy marriage was forever closed for himself! After many years of husband and wife, they knew and understood all the physical characteristics and behavioral habits of each other, and they were the most familiar, intimate, and trusted people in the world! However, at this time, the four eyes were facing each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward, and both of them seemed a little at a loss. He Sicheng beckoned his wife to sit down like a guest, Zhao Jia opened his shoulder bag, took out the printed "Divorce Agreement" and handed it to He Sicheng, although their hands were trembling, the grand handover ceremony was completed, and all He Sicheng's wishes to keep the marriage were disillusioned!

He Sicheng hurriedly looked at the "Divorce Agreement", the "Agreement" was clearly organized, the grammar was neat, and the terminology was professional, and the words all revealed the determination and courage of the wife to divorce, and the main content was nothing more than the division of the only little property of the husband and wife and the definition of the custody of the daughter. His wife's demands are fair and reasonable, and He Sicheng has a guilty heart, and He Sicheng has no objection to the division of property, He Sicheng has been trying hard to create more wealth, but he just wants his wife and children to live better, and he has always thought that his wife and children are his own world, and now that the world is gone, what is the point of having more property and less property? Daughter Coco has been taken care of by her parents-in-law, and with her wife, her study and life must be more regular and comfortable than following herself, as long as her daughter is doing well, it doesn't matter who the custody belongs to. Coco is also more than ten years old, and the intimate father-daughter relationship cannot end because of the end of the relationship between himself and his wife, but how to make Coco recognize and accept this fact without producing a psychological shadow is a big problem, which can only be said later!

There is no obstacle in the "Divorce Agreement," which means that there is no obstacle to the divorce of He Sicheng and Zhao Jiayi so far! He Sicheng and Zhao Jiayi each signed their names on the "Agreement" with trembling hands and pressed blood-red handprints. They had signed and fingerprinted various legal documents together at the same time. From receiving the "Marriage Certificate" to transferring household registration, buying a house, and taking out loans, every signing and fingerprint made He Sicheng and Zhao Jiayi more intimate, but this time, the handprint ended their relationship!

He Sicheng's heart was torn into pieces, scattered, not for the content of divorce, but only in the form of divorce. It can be seen that Zhao Jiayi is also very uncomfortable, her whole body is trembling slightly, tears keep rolling down, I don't know if she is regretting the wrong choice 16 years ago? Is it reluctance to reluctance to remember each other for 16 years? Or are she worried about the difficult years after the divorce in middle age? Maybe it's both! He Sicheng understands his wife's heartache and intestines, although it was his wife who made the choice to divorce, but in the face of a marriage that has been experienced for many years but finally ended in a fiasco, who can be alone? For individuals, the failure of marriage is sometimes the failure of love, the belief in marriage, two people come together because of the joy of love, no need to swear that the best destination of this kind of relationship is "hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son!", no person and event can prevent the two from coming together, they get married and have children together, and go from youth to aging together, until they become each other's buried bones. After getting married, both parties worked hard for this family, poured everything they had, without a trace of concern, without a trace of hesitation, just because the husband or wife, they both believe that home is a fortress, home is a nest of love, home is the goal of struggle, home is a place of healing, home is the source of happiness! Home can withstand all the miserable wind and rain in the world! However, now, home is gone! The base is gone, the love nest is gone, the goal of struggle is gone, the place of healing is gone, the source of happiness is gone, only the bleak wind and rain are left!

He Sicheng and his wife were silent for a long time, and both of them lowered their heads, as if they were holding a memorial service for their newly deceased marriage and were silently mourning for their newly deceased marriage! Although they have not yet gone through the formalities at the civil affairs department, they have to admit that their marriage has just broken down, and they have no chance to rescue them! No one speaks, what else can they say? Do they continue to express accusations, complaints, regrets, and reluctance? There is no need. Is it another argument about who is right and who is wrong? There is no basis. Is it to sincerely wish the other party a good life in the future? At least at this stage, don't be hypocritical!

When the time flickered to noon, He Sichengqiang squeezed out a smile at his wife and said: "Jiayi, the matter has been decided, let's not be sad anymore, I still say the same thing, the days are after the past, not before, everyone wants to open up and look forward." As the old saying goes, it's good to get together and disperse, husband and wife, I'll invite you to have a casual meal!"
